Black and Bleu Ribeye

Ingredients

1 16 oz ribeye
2 Tbsp Cajun seasoning
4 oz Bleu cheese
Kosher Salt

Gear

Grill (recommended) or cast iron skillet

Quick Start

Remove steak from fridge 20-30 minutes before preparing.

Pat the steak dry and salt on both sides. Cover with the cajun seasoning, lightly patting the steak to adhere it.

Place on grill over direct heat for about 5-6 minutes (for a ~1 inch steak), then flip, top with the bleu cheese and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes.

Remove and let rest 5 minutes before serving

The Deets

Yield: 2 servings
Oven: N/A
Bake Time: 9-10 minutes, depending on steak thickness
Notes: We always get one big steak and split it between us. Larger, thicker steaks are easier to cook to the doneness we like.

About this Recipe

Ok, so we've been waiting forever to celebrate Eric's birthday since everything was closed in deep shutdown (we've decided that he doesn't actually get a year older because we couldn't celebrate). What he really wanted was to get this black and bleu ribeye from a restaurant nearby. Unfortunately, even when they could reopen, they didn't have outdoor seating - and we aren't all that excited to pay full price for a to-go ribeye and then drive 20 minutes to get it home before we can eat it!

So when we (finally) got a Costco membership recently and saw they had prime ribeye on sale, we had to buy it make our own.

Now Eric is researching chest freezers so he can fill it with ribeye...

Method
