Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) Ribeye steaks
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Crumbled bleu cheese
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Remove steaks from the refrigerator about 30-40 minutes prior to cooking to allow them to come to room temperature. This ensures even cooking.

Step 2

Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Drizzle both sides with olive oil and season generously with kosher salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Heat a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and swirl to coat the pan.

Step 4

Add the steaks to the hot pan, avoiding overcrowding. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust cook time for desired doneness). Use tongs to also sear the edges for about 1 minute.

Step 5

Remove steaks from the pan and set on a plate to rest for 5-7 minutes. Cover loosely with foil.

Step 6

In the same pan, reduce heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream and let it heat through, about 1 minute. Add the crumbled bleu cheese, stirring continuously until fully melted and the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Taste the bleu cheese sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat.

Step 9

Place the steaks on serving plates. Spoon the bleu cheese sauce generously over the top of each steak.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
