Instructions

Bring the ribeye steaks to room temperature and pat them dry.

Generously season both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.

Sear the steaks for about 3-4 minutes without moving them.

Flip the steaks and sear the other side for another 3-4 minutes.

Add butter, smashed garlic, and thyme to the pan, spooning the melted butter over the steaks.

Check the doneness of the steaks using a meat thermometer.

Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a cutting board tented with foil.

For the blue cheese sauce, melt a tablespoon of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.

Add the minced shallot and sauté until softened, about 2 minutes.

Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.

Stir in the crumbled blue cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Add lemon juice and black pepper, tasting to adjust seasoning.

Slice the rested steaks against the grain and serve with the creamy blue cheese sauce.
