Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 stick butter, softened
- 1/4 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese or other mild blue cheese
- 1 small clove garlic, crushed
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
- 1 dash Tabasco sauce
- 2 pounds beef rib eye steak, 1 1/2” thick
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- Montreal Steak Seasoning, or similar seasoning (optional)
- 1/2 tablespoon bacon grease or other fat
Instructions
- Put the butter, Gorgonzola, and crushed garlic in your food processor, and run till they’re well-blended. Add the basil and Tabasco, and pulse to mix in, but quit while you still have nice flecks of basil. All of this can be done in advance.
- If you want to be fancy, form the butter into a roll about 1½ in diameter, wrap in foil, and refrigerate. Then you can slice nice pats of Gorgonzola Basil Butter to melt on your steaks. I confess, however, that I simply scooped mine out of the food processor and onto the steak.
- Okay, dinnertime has rolled around. Put your big, heavy skillet over the highest heat your stove can muster. Let it get good and hot while you…
- Rub either side of your steak with olive oil. Sprinkle lightly with the steak seasoning, or just salt and pepper if you prefer.
- Melt the bacon grease in your skillet, and slosh to cover the bottom. Throw in your steak, and set a timer for 4-5 minutes. (This is approximate, and will vary with how hot a burner your stove has.)
- Flip your steak, and give it 4-5 minutes on the other side. With my stove, this yielded a steak that was well-seared on the outside, yet pink clear through — not red, pink. Perfect medium-rare.
- Remove the steak from the skillet, and let it sit a few minutes before cutting into portions. Top each portion with a generous dollop of steak butter before serving.
