Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces ranch steak (approximately 8 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup blue cheese crumbles
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Pat the ranch steaks dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
Brush both sides of the steaks with olive oil, then season evenly with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
In a small bowl, combine the blue cheese crumbles and softened butter until well mixed. Set aside.
Place the steaks on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium.
Once cooked, remove the steaks from the grill and rest them on a plate for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
While the steaks rest, scoop the blue cheese and butter mixture on top of each steak, spreading it slightly so it begins to melt from the residual heat.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness, if desired.
Serve hot with your choice of side dishes such as roasted potatoes or a crisp salad.
