For the Steak:
- 2 rib eye steaks (about 1-inch thick)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
For the Onion Blue Cheese Sauce:
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Prepare the Steaks:
Bring steaks to room temperature and season generously with salt and pepper.
Sear the Steaks:
Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over high heat. Sear steaks for about 3–4 minutes per side (or to desired doneness). Remove and let rest.
Make the Sauce:
In the same pan, reduce heat and melt butter. Add onions and cook until golden and soft (about 8–10 minutes). Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Add Cream & Cheese:
Pour in the cream, reduce slightly, then stir in blue cheese. Simmer gently until cheese melts and sauce thickens.
Serve:
Plate the steaks and spoon over the onion blue cheese sauce. Garnish with fresh thyme if desired.
Recipe Notes :
Doneness Guide : Use a meat thermometer—130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium.
Steak Rest Time : Always rest steaks for 5 minutes before slicing to retain juices.
Cheese Tip : Gorgonzola or Roquefort are great blue cheese alternatives.
Make It a Meal : Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp green salad.
Sauce Boost : Add a splash of white wine or brandy to the onions before adding cream for extra depth.
