Steps:
- Preheat a grill pan or indoor/outdoor grill to high.
- For the first sauce, place all the herbs and garlic in food processor and pulse-chop to a fine mince. Scrape into a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil and let stand.
- Heat a small pot with extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook 5 minutes. Add brown sugar and cook 1 minute. Add hot sauce, Worcestershire pepper and tomato sauce. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a small bowl.
- Let steaks rest a bit to take the chill off. Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil over the steaks and season them lightly with steak seasoning. Grill meat on screaming hot grill 3 to 4 minutes on side one, 2 to 3 on side 2 for medium rare doneness. Go a minute longer on each side for medium to medium well doneness.
- Serve steaks with 2 sauces and BIG MUSSELS.
GRILLED STEAK WITH ROQUEFORT SAUCE
This dish, which often appears on bistro menus in France, fits the need for a good steak served with something powerfully salty and rich (anchovy butter or a combination of butter, soy sauce, and ginger will also do the trick). Some might consider the sauce overkill, but not those of us who crave it. My favorite cheese for this sauce is Roquefort, which is made from sheep's milk. But it's entirely a matter of taste-Stilton, Gorgonzola, Maytag blue, or any high-quality, fairly soft blue cheese will work equally well. Don't bother, however, trying to make this sauce with commercially produced domestic blue cheese, such as that sold precrumbled for salads. Not only will its taste be inferior, but it will not give the sauce the same creaminess. This is a case where the usually too-lean and mildly flavored tenderloin (filet mignon) will do just fine. Its tenderness is welcome and its blandness more than compensated for by the sauce. I'd still prefer a good strip steak or rib-eye, which are chewier and more flavorful, but you will notice their higher fat content when they're combined with the rich sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat a grill or broiler until quite hot and put the rack no more than 4 inches from the heat source.
- Put the butter in a small saucepan and turn the heat to medium; when the butter melts and its foam begins to subside, add the shallot and cook until soft, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add the vinegar, stir, and cook until it is just about evaporated, 1 or 2 minutes. Turn the heat to low and stir in the cheese and the cayenne. Stir occasionally until the cheese melts, then taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary (the sauce probably won't need any salt). Keep warm while you grill the steaks.
- Season the steaks well with salt and pepper, then grill or broil them for 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, longer or shorter according to your taste. Serve the steaks with a spoonful or two of sauce over each, garnished with the parsley or chives if you like.
