WELL-DONE STEAK WITH BLUE CHEESE COMPOUND BUTTER

Steps:

• Combine the 1 cup butter, blue cheese, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a food processor. Process until well blended and smooth. Transfer to a sheet of plastic wrap and roll into a cylinder. Wrap tightly and place in the freezer to chill.
• Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temp for 30 to 45 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Sprinkle the steaks with salt. Heat a cast-iron grill pan over high heat until starting to smoke, then add a small amount of oil to the pan. Place the steaks in the pan and cook for 4 minutes. Flip and cook for another 4 minutes. Turn off the oven and transfer the pan to the oven for 8 minutes, or until the steaks reach an internal temperature of 155 degrees F.
• Place 1/2 tablespoon of the remaining butter on each steak and allow the steaks to rest for 5 minutes before serving; the internal temperature will climb another 5 degrees.
• Serve the steaks topped with blue cheese compound butter.

MINI ROAST BEEF AND CHEESE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the secret sauce: Combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder and hot sauce in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until just simmering, about 30 seconds. Keep warm, covered.
• For the sandwiches and Cheddar sauce: Lay the slider buns cut-side up on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until warmed through, about 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the processed cheese, Cheddar, milk and paprika in a small saucepan and warm over medium-high heat, stirring, until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes. Take off the heat and keep warm, covered.
• Spread both sides of the buns lightly with the secret sauce. Place a few slices of roast beef on each bottom half of the buns. Rewarm the cheese sauce if necessary, then spoon some of the cheese sauce on top of the meat. Cover with the top half of the buns and serve immediately.

INSIDE OUT BACON GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Put the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring, until golden brown and crispy, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Reserve the bacon fat.
• Add the bacon fat to a griddle over medium heat. Place the bread on the griddle and lightly toast one side. Remove from the griddle and arrange toasted-side down on a work surface. Divide 2 cups of the cheese and all of the bacon, tomatoes and chives over 4 slices of bread. Top with the other 4 slices of bread, toasted-side up, to make 4 sandwiches.
• Divide 1/2 cup of the remaining cheese into 4 piles on the griddle and place a sandwich over each pile, pressing down. Griddle for a few minutes until the cheese is browning and melted. Divide the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese into 4 piles on the griddle?one next to each sandwich. Then flip each sandwich onto a pile of cheese and cook for a couple of minutes until the center of each is melted.
