Ribeye Steaks With Blue Cheese Butter And Mushrooms Recipes

SUNDAY RIB-EYE STEAKS WITH BLUE CHEESE BUTTER, MUSHROOMS AND SHERRY

Steps:

• Season the steaks with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with the onion powder and garlic powder.
• Heat a large skillet over high heat. Coat with a little oil, then add the steaks and cook on each side for 4 minutes or until seared. After the second flip, add the 2 tablespoons butter, the rosemary and garlic. Once the butter melts, tilt the skillet slightly to pool the liquid, then constantly spoon the butter over the steaks for 2 more minutes. Flip the steaks and baste again for 2 minutes. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let rest on a platter.
• Meanwhile, cook the mushrooms: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, add the sherry, then return to the heat and cook, scraping any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Add the butter, swirl the skillet to coat, then season with salt and pepper. Set aside and keep warm.
• For the blue cheese butter: Mash the butter, blue cheese and parsley together with a fork in a small bowl until combined. Use right away or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. Alternatively, you can fill small cookie cutters with the blue cheese butter and refrigerate until firm enough to unmold and take on a decorative shape. A leaf-shaped cutter would be pretty.
• Serve the mushrooms directly on top of the steaks. Or slice the steaks and serve the mushrooms in a side dish. Top each steak with a pat of the blue cheese butter, if desired.

Grill mushrooms 16 to 18 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, covered, 12 to 15 minutes) or until tender, turning occasionally.
• Meanwhile, combine Blue Cheese Butter ingredients in small bowl until well blended.
• Cover and refrigerate 2 steaks, 4 mushrooms and 1/2 cup Blue Cheese Butter to use in Ribeye Steak Sandwiches. Spread remaining Blue Cheese Butter over remaining 2 steaks. Coarsely chop remaining 4 mushrooms; divide evenly among 4 plates. Carve steaks into slices; arrange evenly over mushrooms. Season with salt, as desired. Garnish with parsley, if desired.
• Ribeye Steak Sandwiches: Toast eight 1/2-inch thick slices olive bread. Spread 1 tablespoon leftover Blue Cheese Butter on 1 side of each bread slice. Carve leftover grilled steaks into slices; season with salt and pepper, as desired. Divide slices evenly among buttered sides of 4 bread slices.Top each with 1 leftover grilled mushroom. Divide 1-1/2 cups fresh baby spinach evenly over mushrooms. Close sandwiches with remaining bread slices, buttered sides down. Cut sandwiches in half; serve.

GRILLED BONE-IN RIB-EYE STEAKS WITH BLUE CHEESE

Steps:

• Season steaks with salt and pepper at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour before you plan to cook them. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature.
• Heat grill to high. If using a charcoal grill, mound coals to one side, allowing for an area of indirect heat. If using a gas grill, turn on only a few of the burners and leave the rest off for indirect heat.
• Lightly oil steaks. Place on the hottest part of the grill. Cook, covered, until they develop a golden-brown crust, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Move steaks to indirect heat and crumble cheese over the top; cover and continue cooking 2 to 5 minutes longer, depending on desired doneness. (Pull the meat at 125 degrees for rare.)
• Transfer steaks to a cutting board to rest, loosely covered with foil, for 10 minutes. While steaks rest, stir together butter, chives and hot sauce. Pour over steak before serving.
