Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 2 (1-inch) ribeye steaks
Seasonings and Fats:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) canola oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- 3 tablespoons (45 grams) salted butter
Sauce and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 shallot (thinly sliced)
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) heaping Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) blue cheese crumbles
- 1/3 cup (35 grams) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon (4 grams) sugar
Instructions
- Allow ribeye steaks to reach ambient temperature over 30-45 minutes, ensuring even cooking and optimal tenderness.
- Calibrate oven to a scorching 450°F (232°C) for precise meat preparation.
- Select an oven-compatible skillet and warm it on medium-high heat, introducing a thin layer of canola oil.
- Thoroughly eliminate surface moisture from steaks using paper towels, then generously season both surfaces with kosher salt and cracked black pepper.
- Execute a rapid sear on each steak side for approximately 45 seconds, developing a rich caramelized exterior.
- Transfer skillet directly into preheated oven, roasting steaks for 4-10 minutes contingent upon thickness, achieving desired internal temperature.
- Simultaneously prepare blue cheese sauce by melting butter in a separate pan over medium heat.
- Introduce finely minced shallots and garlic, sautéing until golden and fragrant.
- Incorporate heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and a touch of sugar, creating a luxurious base.
- Fold blue cheese crumbles into the simmering mixture, stirring consistently until completely integrated.
- Reduce heat, gently blending Parmesan cheese until sauce reaches silky consistency.
- Extract steaks from oven, allowing 5-minute resting period to redistribute internal juices.
- Lavish steaks with decadent blue cheese sauce just before serving.
Notes
- Bring steaks to room temperature before cooking to ensure even heat distribution and optimal tenderness.
- Pat steaks completely dry to achieve a perfect golden-brown sear and prevent steaming instead of browning.
- Use a cast-iron skillet for best heat retention and even cooking when transitioning from stovetop to oven.
- Try blue cheese sauce variations by swapping blue cheese with gorgonzola or adding fresh herbs like thyme for extra depth of flavor.
