Manchego, an aged sheep’s milk cheese from Spain, is prized for its wonderful flavor (great to munch on its own) and because it melts so smoothly. This is great atop grilled steak or other grilled meats and vegetables.

Ingredient List

Marinade:

  • 1 cup Mountain High® original, lowfat or fat free plain yoghurt
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 pounds sirloin steak (about 1-inch thick)

Sauce:

  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
  • 1 tablespoon chopped jalapeño
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher (coarse) salt
  • 2 tablespoons white wine or chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon flour
  • 3/4 cup shredded Manchego Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Mountain High® plain yoghurt

Preparation

  1. To prepare the steak, combine all marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Mix well. Pour mixture into a resealable gallon plastic bag. Add sirloin, press air out of bag and seal. Turn and squeeze bag to coat steak all over. Place in refrigerator and let marinate up to 4 hours, turning occasionally to distribute marinade. Remove meat from marinade; discard marinade.
  2. Grill meat directly over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes for medium rare, or longer until desired doneness is achieved. Turn once halfway through cooking time.
  3. Meanwhile, heat oil in 1 1/2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots, jalapeno, salt, and pepper. Cook stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes or until shallots are softened. Add chicken broth, whisking well to blend. Add flour and cheese. Cook and stir until cheese is melted. Reduce heat to low and add yoghurt. Whisk to combine all ingredients. Serve warm over steak.
  4. Remove steak from grill, allow meat to rest five minutes, then slice and serve warm with the warm cheese sauce drizzled over it.
