Steaks With Basil Blue Cheese Butter Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Whisk together vinegar, garlic, 1 tablespoon black pepper, rosemary, oregano, and kosher salt in a bowl along with the olive oil. Place the flat iron steak into a resealable plastic bag, and pour the marinade overtop. Squeeze the excess air from the bag and seal. Marinate in the refrigerator 30 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil grate. Remove steak from the marinade, shake off excess, and discard the remaining marinade. Allow the steak to stand at room temperature for 15 minutes as the grill warms.
• Mash together the butter, blue cheese, chives, and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper; set aside. Cook the steak on the preheated grill to desired degree of doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Allow the steak to rest in a warm place for 10 minutes before slicing thinly across the grain. Serve with a dollop of blue cheese-chive butter.

Steps:

• Place meat on broiler pan. Broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 5-8 minutes on each side or until meat is browned and cooked to desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°)., Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the blue cheese and butter; set aside. In a skillet, saute bread cubes in oil until golden brown. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Top steaks with blue cheese mixture and sprinkle with croutons; broil 1 minute longer or until cheese is slightly melted.

Steps:

• Make the compound butter: In a medium bowl, mix together the butter, blue cheese, chives, salt, and pepper until well combined.
• Transfer the butter to a piece of plastic wrap and roll into a log. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until ready to use.
• Make the fried onions: In a shallow bowl, combine the onions and buttermilk and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, paprika, salt, and pepper. Dip the buttermilk-coated onions into the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
• Fill a large skillet with high sides with the canola oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 375˚F (190˚C). Once the oil is hot, add the onions in batches and fry for 3 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer the onions to a wire rack to drain and season with salt.
• Generously season the steaks all over with salt and pepper.
• Add the olive oil to a large cast-iron or stainless-steel pan over high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the steaks and cook, without disturbing, until a brown crust forms, about 7 minutes. Flip the steaks and continue to cook for 7 minutes more, until the steak is browned on both sides. Sear the sides of the steak to render any fat. Add the butter and thyme to the pan. Tilt the pan toward you and baste the steaks with the melted butter for 2 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (60°C) for medium rare.
• Serve the steak with the crispy onions and blue cheese compound butter.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine butter, blue cheese, parsley, basil and garlic.
• Set aside.
• Grill steaks to desired doneness.
• Top each steak with a generous amount of the butter mixture.
• Chill the remaining butter for another time.
• (Try the butter mixture tossed with hot cooked vegetables).

Steps:

• Oil grill and heat barbecue to medium-high.
• Meanwhile in a medium bowl, stir butter with cheese, basil and Tabasco. If too lumpy, mash with a fork. Scrape onto a piece of plastic wrap. Form into log 1 inches (2.5 cm) wide and tightly roll up. Twist ends of plastic wrap and place in freezer to chill while steaks are grilling. If making ahead, butter mixture will keep well in the refrigerator up to a week.
• Place steaks on grill. Barbecue, uncovered, 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove steaks to plates. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Let stand 5 minute
• Slice butter mixture into rounds and serve 1 or 2 rounds on each steak.
• Excellent with green and yellow beans and baked potatoes.

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.
