Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces ribeye steaks (1-inch thick)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
Instructions
Prepare the blue cheese butter: In a small bowl, combine softened butter, crumbled blue cheese, chopped parsley, and minced garlic. Mix well until smooth and fully incorporated. Spoon the mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap, shape it into a small log, and roll it tightly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until firm.
Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Let the steaks rest at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes while you prepare your cooking surface.
Heat a large cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the olive oil and swirl to coat the surface.
Carefully lay the steaks in the pan and cook without moving them for 4-5 minutes on one side until a deep golden crust forms.
Flip the steaks and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired doneness. Use an instant-read thermometer if needed, aiming for 130°F for medium-rare.
Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 5 minutes. During this time, slice the blue cheese butter into rounds.
Top each steak with a round of blue cheese butter right before serving to allow it to melt into the meat. Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
