• Pre-heat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Cook the steaks until they start to firm and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 3 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees. Remove the steaks from the grill and tint with foil to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve each steak with the Gorgonzola sauce and top with crumbled bacon and chopped green onion.

• 2. Slice tomatoes and place a tad of olive oil in a non stick skillet or on a flat griddle, roast tomato slices turning once.
• 3. Butter bread on one or both sides. Toast on one side on griddle then flip, place grated cheese, bacon, roasted tomatoes, Thai garlic chile sauce and fresh cilantro leaves on, then top with more cheese, place 2nd slice of bread on top. Toast on low heat until cheese is melted (you can also place in oven on 375-400 for a few minutes on baking sheet to finish melting cheese once bread is toasted.
• 4. Cheeses- I prefer using a white melting cheese such as Muenster, Asadero or Monterey Jack or pepper jack.
