ANNETTE FUNICELLO’S STEAK IN A BAG
Ingredients:
2 lb. top sirloin steak, cut 2 1/2 inches thick
2 T. garlic spread
2 T. vegetable oil
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. seasoned pepper
1/2 C. Cheddar cheese, shredded
1 C. bread crumbs
Trim fat from steak. Make a paste from garlic spread,
vegetable oil, salt and seasoned pepper. Spread on both
sides of steak.
Combine cheese and bread crumbs; pat on steak. Place
steak in brown paper bag (large enough to fit steak
comfortably). Seal loosely with paper clips. Bake in
preheated 375ºF oven for 30 minutes. Increase oven
temperature to 425ºF and bake steak for 15 minutes longer.
Unseal bag to serve.
AFTERTHOUGHTS: For easy handling, place bag on
cookie sheet during baking. Annette advises, “You can
bake steak early in the day, then bake at 425ºF just before
serving. The steak is out of this world.” Yields 6 servings.
