(from Allie’s recipe box)

Ingredients
- 2 ribeye steaks, seasoned with salt and pepper
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 large onion, sliced thinly
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup blue cheese, crumbled
- salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
-
Cook your ribeye according to your preference. Two of my favorite ways to cook steak are either on a pre-heated hot grill for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until medium rare or by heating oil in a cast iron skillet to medium-high and frying the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side. Let your steak rest after cooking for 8-10 minutes before serving.
-
To make the sauce, melt the butter over medium heat in a skillet.
-
Add the onions to the melted butter and cook the onions for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until caramelized. You want the onions a caramel brown color, not dark brown.
-
Add the cream to the caramelized onions and bring to a simmer.
-
Add the blue cheese to the cream and onions and stir until the cheese is melted.
-
Season the sauce with salt and pepper to your taste noting that the cheese will add it’s own salt so start with a small amount of salt.
-
Serve the sauce over your ribeye and be prepared to swoon :)
