Annette Funicello's Steak in a Bag 2 pounds top sirloin steak, cut 2 1/2 inches thick 2 tablespoons garlic spread 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned pepper 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded 1 cup bread crumbs
Trim fat from steak. Make a paste from garlic spread, vegetable oil, salt and seasoned pepper. Spread on both sides of steak.
Combine cheese and bread crumbs; pat on steak. Place steak in brown paper bag (large enough to fit steak comfortably). Seal loosely with paper clips. Bake in preheated 375 degrees F oven for 30 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F and bake steak for 15 minutes longer. Unseal bag to serve.
AFTERTHOUGHTS: For easy handling, place bag on cookie sheet during baking. Annette advises, "You can bake steak early in the day, then bake at 425 degrees F just before serving. The steak is out of this world."
