Steak With Blue Cheese Sauce image

Very assertively-flavored steak recipe that I learned about 12 years ago when I was learning to cook to impress my now-husband. Adapted from Betty Crocker's New International Cookbook. This Spanish-influenced recipe can tend to be somewhat on the salty side, so be careful to use unsalted butter to saute the steaks, and a good-quality, not-overly-salty blue cheese in the sauce. Serve simply, with a lightly-dressed salad, good crusty bread, and a nice red wine.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces good blue cheese, crumbled
1 -3 garlic clove, chopped
2 tablespoons dry white wine (drinking quality)
1 dash ground red pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 small New York strip steaks (about 1 inch thick, about 2 pounds) or 4 small rib eye steaks (about 1 inch thick, about 2 pounds)
fresh ground pepper
1/4 cup water
chopped parsley (for garnish)

Steps:

  • In a medium skillet, combine cheese, garlic, wine, and red pepper over low heat.
  • Stir frequently until cheese melts.
  • Remove from heat and keep warm.
  • In large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat, and cook steaks to your liking, turning only once.
  • (About 4- 5 minutes per side will result in steak done to about medium, depending on your cook top).
  • Sprinkle pepper over steaks, remove from skillet and keep warm.
  • Add water to skillet and heat to boiling, stirring constantly to loosen browned bits.
  • Boil 2 minutes, then stir pan juices into cheese mixture.
  • Pour over steaks and sprinkle with parsley.
