ingredients
- 1 large yellow onion, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1⁄3 cup blue cheese, crumbles
- 3⁄4 cup steak, leftover cut into small pieces
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- salt
- pepper
- 1 egg, beaten lightly with a teaspoon of water
directions
- In a hot skillet, heat oil. Add onions and cook until brown and caramelized. Stir frequently and be careful not to burn. Add garlic and vinegar. Reduce heat to medium low and cook a few more minutes until the liquid is fully absorbed. Remove from heat.
- Stir in meat and cheese.
- In the meantime, use a rolling pin to seal the creases of the puff pastry. Use parchment paper on either side to keep from sticking instead of flour. Cut into squares in any size of your choice. I like to do small ones (about 4 inches or so). Curl up the edges slightly to make an edge. They do not need to be perfect however -- this dish looks its prettiest rustic style.
- Brush the outside edge of the pastry with the egg wash.
- Fill each pastry square the mixture.
- Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 8-12 minutes, or until browned on the edges.
- Enjoy!

<p>I am a pretty good home cook and a Food Network junkie. Every time I host an event or create a new dish, my confidence grows....I'm always testing new ideas and sometimes (I'm a nerd) that dreams in food.</p>
<p>I was proud to have one of my recipes chosen as RecipeZaar's Recipe of the Day on 11/27/09 with my Turkey, Cranberry, & Pesto Sandwich. I also had the opportunity to cook at the Aetna Healthy Food Fight competition in Los Angeles last summer - talk about pressure!</p>
