Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (8-10 oz each) Rib eye steaks
- 1/2 cup Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1/2 cup Heavy cream
- 1/2 cup (crumbled) Bleu cheese
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Pour the marinade into a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and add the rib eye steaks.
Add the rosemary sprigs to the mixture. Seal and marinate the steaks in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.
When ready to cook, heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil to the pan.
Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels. Let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Cook the steaks in the hot skillet for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. Remove from the heat and let the steaks rest for 5 minutes under loosely tented aluminum foil.
While the steaks rest, prepare the bleu cheese sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, then stir in the heavy cream.
Once the cream begins to simmer, add the crumbled bleu cheese. Whisk until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Remove the sauce from the heat.
Plate the rested steaks and drizzle the bleu cheese sauce over the top. Garnish with an extra sprinkle of bleu cheese crumbles, if desired. Serve immediately.
