Ingredients
Directions
Melt margarine in medium skillet over medium heat; cook garlic for 2 to 3 minutes. Add port and beef broth; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium. Add cranberries and pear halves; cover and cook for 10 to 15 minutes or just until tender, turning and basting occasionally. Remove pear halves; cover and set aside.
Season steaks with pepper and salt. Heat lightly oiled nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; cook steaks for 5 to 7 minutes, turning at least twice for medium-rare 145°F (63°C). Remove steaks to warm plate and cover.
Add reserved port sauce to hot skillet to de-glaze pan; cook over medium-high heat, uncovered, for 5 minutes until reduced to about 1/3 cup (75 mL) and syrupy. Spoon some sauce onto plates; top with steaks and pear halves. Drizzle with remaining sauce. Top each with crumbled cheese.
