1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
1/4 cup butter, softened
3 tablespoons chopped rehydrated sun-dried tomatoes, not packed in oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Combine garlic, thyme and pepper; press evenly onto beefsteaks. Set aside.
Brush mushrooms with oil. Place steaks on grid over medium, ash-covered coals; arrange mushrooms around steaks. Grill steaks, covered, 10 to 14 minutes for medium-rare (145°F) to medium (160°F) doneness, turning occasionally. Grill mushrooms until tender, turning occasionally.
Meanwhile, combine Blue Cheese Butter ingredients in small bowl until well blended. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
