Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.


2 sirloin steaks (5.5 ounce size), or your favorite cut
4 shakes blackened steak seasoning
1/2 cup red bell peppers, julienne cut
1/2 cup green bell peppers, julienne cut
1 cup yellow onion, julienne cut
butter, as needed
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
granulated garlic, to taste
1 slice Cheddar cheese
1 slice Monterey jack cheese, sliced
Preheat skillet or grill to 550 degrees F.
Shake blackened steak seasoning on to one side of meat and grill to desired doneness, turning halfway on grill between "flips" to achieve "diamond" grill marks.
While steak is cooking, cut onions and peppers. Melt butter and saute onions and peppers. Season with salt, pepper and garlic. Reduce heat and hold until steak is cooked.
For final minute of steak cooking, top with cheese slices. Plate for service with onions and peppers and serve with your favorite side dishes. Applebee's serves theirs with skin-on garlic mashed potatoes and garlic bread.

If you're a fan of the menu at this American chain of restaurants which serves a variety of foods such as burgers, steaks, pasta, and seafood then you'll love this collection of copycat recipes.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

I cooked this in a grill pan instead of on the charcoal grill just for ease. I was a bit wary of topping this fine cut of steak with cheese but dang this was good stuff!
