Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (12 oz each) Ribeye steak
- 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 tablespoons (softened) Unsalted butter
- 2 ounces (crumbled) Bleu cheese
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) Parsley
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons (for searing) Vegetable oil
Instructions
Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
Season both sides of the steaks with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Rub the olive oil evenly over the steaks to create a thin coating.
In a small bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, crumbled bleu cheese, chopped parsley, and garlic powder. Mix until smooth and well blended. Set aside in the refrigerator to firm up slightly.
Preheat a cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over high heat for 5 minutes until very hot.
Add the vegetable oil to the skillet, ensuring the pan is evenly coated.
Carefully place the steaks into the hot skillet. Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes on the first side without moving them to develop a golden-brown crust.
Flip the steaks and sear the other side for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time to your preferred level of doneness (use a meat thermometer if needed: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes. Resting ensures the juices redistribute evenly for a tender steak.
While the steaks are resting, slice the bleu cheese butter into pats.
Place the steaks on serving plates and top each steak with a generous pat of bleu cheese butter, allowing it to melt into the hot steak.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes or a crisp green salad.
