Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ribeye steak (about 1-inch thick, approximately 12 oz)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/4 cup blue cheese (crumbled)
- 2 tbsp fresh herbs (such as thyme or parsley, finely chopped)
- 1 tsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tbsp canola or vegetable oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak: Take the ribeye steak out of the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking to reach room temperature. Pat it dry with paper towels.
- Season Generously: Sprinkle both sides of the steak liberally with salt and black pepper.
- Heat Your Pan: Place a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for about five minutes until hot.
- Sear That Steak: Add oil to the skillet and gently lay the seasoned steak down. Sear for about four minutes without moving it.
- Flip & Add Flavor: Turn the steak using tongs and cook for another three minutes. During the last minute, add butter, crushed garlic (optional), and fresh herbs to the pan. Spoon melted butter over the steak.
- Make Blue Cheese Butter: While the steak rests, mix softened butter with crumbled blue cheese in a small bowl. Add lemon juice and herbs, then combine well.
- Serve: Slice the rested ribeye and drizzle with blue cheese butter before serving.
