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
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.
