Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Steak (ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium Shallot, finely chopped
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Blue cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Remove the steaks from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature.
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the steaks to the hot skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness. Use tongs to sear the edges for 30 seconds each.
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate, loosely covered with aluminum foil.
Reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the finely chopped shallot and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Add the crumbled blue cheese to the cream and stir until melted and the sauce is smooth. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
Plate the rested steaks and generously spoon the blue cheese sauce over the top.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
