Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces rib eye steaks
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 cup whiskey
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup blue cheese, crumbled
- 2 cups cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Remove the rib eye steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature.
Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter to the pan.
Once the skillet is hot, sear the rib eyes for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the time for your preferred level of doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet, tent with foil, and let them rest while preparing the sauce.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and carefully pour in the whiskey. Stir and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow the whiskey to reduce by half, about 2 minutes.
Add the heavy cream to the skillet, stirring to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes, then stir in the crumbled blue cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Reduce heat to low to keep the sauce warm.
In a separate skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5 minutes until they release their liquid and begin to brown.
Add the minced garlic to the mushrooms and cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
To serve, plate each rib eye steak and spoon the whiskey blue cheese sauce generously over the top. Arrange the sautéed mushrooms on the side or on top of the steak. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
