Servings: 4
Ingredients
For the Steak
- 2 pounds sirloin steak, 1.5 to 2-inches thick
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 sprig of rosemary
- 1 head of garlic, cut in half crosswise
- Salt and pepper
For the Blue Cheese Sauce
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ⅔ cup Gorgonzola cheese, or blue cheese
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
Cook the Steak
- Season the steak with salt and pepper, and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Heat a large, cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil. When the oil starts to smoke, lay the steak in the skillet and let it cook for exactly 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
- When the time is up, carefully flip the steak. Add the butter, the rosemary, and the head of garlic, cut-side-down, to the skillet. Cook for exactly 2 minutes, basting the steak the entire time with the butter and pan juices. Do not use a turkey baster for this, as it may melt or overheat; use a metal spoon.
- Remove the steak from the skillet and place it on a clean platter or serving dish. Let it rest for 35 minutes at room temperature, lightly tented with foil.
Make the Sauce
- While the steak is resting, combine the cheese and cream in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook and stir until the cheese and cream are combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve
- Once the steak is done resting, slice it and serve with the blue cheese sauce.
