BBQ & Blue Cheese Wontons

This recipe came straight outta left field.  I can’t even trace the background and inspiration trail on this wacka-doodle combo.  But, I served it recently at a dinner party and the entire plate was annihilated within a few minutes, except for one.  You know, anytime there’s a plate of appetizers and everyone is too courteous to be the person who takes the last one? Yep, this was that kind of crowd.  But, courteous or not, people dig these wontons stuffed with BBQ beef and blue cheese.One note on the blue cheese: I recommend a mild blue like a Danish, if you’re serving these at a party.  We had a blue cheese hater at the party, but after the rave reviews from everyone else, they were pressured into trying one.  The verdict?  Not bad!  So yeah, there’s a hint of blue cheese, but if it’s mild, chances are the majority of your dinner guests will enjoy them.

Also, on the BBQ sauce, pick your favorite brand.  You can’t go wrong with your favorite BBQ sauce.

Instructions

1. Rub the stew meat with paprika, salt, and steak seasoning and allow to marinate at least 20 minutes.
2. Next, place the stew meat in a pressure cooker with 1 cup of water and pressure cook on high for 25 minutes until the beef pulls apart easily.
3. Remove beef from the pressure cooker, shred and place in a bowl with 1 cup of BBQ sauce and toss to combine.
4. Place 1 wonton wrapper on a work surface, place a tsp of shredded beef and BBQ sauce in the middle of it along with a generous pinch of blue cheese. Follow package directions to fold the wonton into a star shape by pinching in the 4 sides.
5. Heat oil in a pot at least 1 inch deep to 375F and then drop in wontons one at a time with up to five in the pot at once, turning occasionally until golden brown all over.
6. Serve with drizzled extra BBQ sauce and diced green onions.
