Steak in a Bag

Ingredients:

1 cup egg bread crumbs

1 (2 to 3 pound) top sirloin steak

Cut 2 1/2 inches thick

4 tablespoons butter or margarine,

Softened 4 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 garlic clove, crushed

2 teaspoons seasoned salt

2 1/2 teaspoons seasoned pepper

1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Procedures:

Prepare egg bread crumbs; set aside. Remove excess fat from steak. In a small bowl, mix butter or margarine, oil, garlic, seasoned salt and seasoned pepper until blended. Spread on all sides of steak.

Mix bread crumbs and cheese. Press into butter mixture on steak, coating steak well. Place steak in brown grocery bag. Fold end over and secure with paper clips. At this point steak may be refrigerated several hours.

Before cooking, bring steak to room temperature. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place bag on a rimmed baking sheet and bake 30 minutes. For medium rare steak, increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F and bake 15 minutes longer, a total of 45 minutes. For medium-well steak, reduce heat from 425 degrees F to 375 degrees F and bake 5 minutes longer before removing from oven, a total of 50 minutes. Remove steak from bag. Let stand 5 minutes before carving into thin slices"
