Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Blue cheese, crumbled
- 1 teaspoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This ensures even cooking.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the unsalted butter and crumbled blue cheese until well combined. Set aside in the refrigerator to keep firm.
Pat the steaks dry on both sides with a paper towel. Season both sides generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Heat a large skillet or cast iron pan over high heat. Add the olive oil and let it become hot but not smoking.
Place the steaks into the hot skillet and sear undisturbed for 3-4 minutes on one side, until a golden-brown crust forms.
Flip the steaks and sear the other side for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or until they reach your preferred level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (e.g., 130°F for medium-rare).
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute for a moist and tender steak.
While the steaks are resting, take the blue cheese butter out of the refrigerator. Top each steak with a dollop of the blue cheese butter just before serving. Let the butter melt into the warm steak for added richness.
Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley (optional) and serve immediately.
