Take the steaks out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. Pat them dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
Season both sides of the steaks with salt and black pepper.
In a heavy skillet or cast iron pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the steaks to the pan and sear for 3-5 minutes on the first side until a nice crust forms. Flip and cook for another 3-5 minutes on the other side (or longer depending on desired doneness).
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Tilt the pan slightly to pool the butter and garlic, and baste the steaks by spooning the mixture over the top. Cook for 1 additional minute.
Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a plate, loosely covered with foil, for 5-7 minutes.
While the steaks are resting, prepare the bleu cheese sauce. In the same skillet (discard excess grease but leave any browned bits), reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream, stirring to deglaze the pan.
Once the cream is warm and starting to simmer, add the bleu cheese crumbles. Stir continuously until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.
Plate the steaks and pour the creamy bleu cheese sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
