Rib-Eyes With Whiskey Blue Cheese Sauce And Mushrooms - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
2 (10 ounce) rib eye steaks
salt and pepper
2 -4 tablespoons oil
2 -4 tablespoons butter (no substitutes)
1 small onion, sliced
1 -2 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
3/4 lb sliced button mushroom (can use less)
3/4 cup beef broth
1/4 cup whiskey or 1/4 cup brandy
1 cup crumbled blue cheese
1/4 - 1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese
Preparation
-
Place the steaks in a shallow dish.
Rub the steaks well in oil on both sides, then season with salt and pepper.
Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour (no less!).
Melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat.
Add in onion slices and garlic; saute for about 3-4 minutes or until softened.
Then add in sliced mushrooms and continue to cook until just tender (about 5 minutes).
In another skillet heat a couple tablespoons oil over medium heat.
Add in the steaks; fry to desired doneness (about 4-5 minutes per side for medium rare).
Transfer the steaks to a plate and tent loosely with foil to keep warm.
Add in the broth and whiskey or brandy to the same skillet that the steaks were fried; bring to a boil and scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Add in the mushroom mixture; bring to a boil and simmer until the liquid is thick enough to coat the spoon lightly (about 5-6 minutes).
Add in 1 cup blue cheese; stir until the cheese melts (about 1 minute).
Season the sauce with salt and pepper.
Spoon the sauce over the steaks, then sprinkle with 1/4-1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese.
