Tenderloin steaks	2 (6-ounce)
Salt	¼ teaspoon
Fresh ground pepper, to taste
Olive oil	1 teaspoon

Clove garlic, minced	1
Reduced-fat cream cheese	2 tablespoons
Crumbled bleu cheese	2 tablespoons

Directions
Season steaks with salt and pepper, drizzle with olive oil, and rub with 2 teaspoons parsley and garlic. Let stand 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare indoor or outdoor grill, and mix together 2 teaspoons parsley, cream cheese, bleu cheese, jalapeno, shallot, and vinegar in a small bowl until smooth.
