Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) beef tenderloin or sirloin steaks
- 4 ounces Roquefort cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
Take the steaks out of the fridge and allow them to come to room temperature for about 20-30 minutes. Pat them dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the steaks and sear them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until a golden brown crust forms. Reduce the heat to medium and cook to your desired doneness (e.g., 130°F for medium-rare). Remove the steaks and let them rest on a plate covered loosely with foil.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the heavy cream and crumble the Roquefort cheese into the skillet. Stir continuously until the cheese melts and combines into a creamy sauce, about 3-5 minutes.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Return the steaks to the skillet, spooning the Roquefort sauce over them. Let them warm through for 2-3 minutes in the sauce.
Transfer the steaks to serving plates, spoon any remaining sauce over the top, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
