Skillet-Seared Strip Steaks with Creamy Blue Cheese Spread
Bring a dash of gourmet elegance to your home cooking with this easy-to-follow recipe for juicy skillet-seared strip steaks crowned with a velvety blue cheese spread. Cooked on a simple stove top, it requires no oven or grilling.
In a small bowl, mix the unsalted butter, blue cheese, Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
2
Lay out a piece of plastic wrap and spoon the butter mixture onto it. Shape it into a log, wrap it up, and refrigerate.
3
Rub the strip steaks on both sides with olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. Let rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
4
Heat a cast-iron skillet on medium-high heat until it's very hot.
5
Cook the steaks in the skillet for 2 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if desired.
6
Remove the skillet from heat and let the steaks rest for 5 minutes.
7
Slice the chilled blue cheese spread into discs and top each steak with a disc. The warmth from the steak will begin to gently melt the spread.
