Ingredients:

  • 2 (8 oz) ribeye steaks (or your preferred cut)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Blue Cheese Butter:
    • In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, blue cheese, minced garlic, lemon juice, and chopped chives (if using). Stir until all ingredients are well mixed. Transfer the mixture to a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper, shape it into a log, and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
  2. Season the Steaks:
    • Take the steaks out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels, then season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
  3. Cook the Steaks:
    • Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil, and when it starts to shimmer, add the steaks. Cook the steaks for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare (adjust based on thickness and preferred doneness). Use a meat thermometer if needed—135°F for medium-rare.
    • Once cooked to your desired doneness, transfer the steaks to a plate and let them rest for 5-7 minutes.
  4. Serve:
    • Slice the blue cheese butter into rounds and place one or two pieces on top of each steak. The butter will melt over the warm steak, adding a rich, tangy flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!

This indulgent steak pairs beautifully with classic sides like roasted vegetables or a crisp salad for a memorable meal.
