INSTRUCTIONS

In a large baggie, combine the bourbon, brown sugar, garlic cloves, black pepper, and salt. Add the steaks, turn once, cover and marinate for 30-60 minutes. Do not leave the steaks in the marinade any longer than that.
When you are ready to make the crostini heat the grill, grill pan or cast-iron pan to medium high heat.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Cut the baguette into 1-inch slices (fairly thin). Toast in the oven for 5 minutes.
In a medium skillet, melt the butter for the caramelized onions over medium heat. Add the sugar and onions and reduce heat to medium low. Cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, place the steak on the grill or pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 130 degrees. Remove from heat, wrap and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
While the steaks are cooking, melt the butter for the gorgonzola sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic cloves, milk, crumbled gorgonzola, and pepper. Stir occasionally until the blue cheese is melted. Remove from heat.
When ready to make the crostini thinly slice the steaks.
Spread 1-2 teaspoons of gorgonzola sauce over each crostini. Place 1 slice of beef on top of the gorgonzola sauce and top with several caramelized onions. Sprinkle with chives.
