A juicy, perfectly seared ribeye steak topped with creamy, tangy blue cheese butter, ideal for a special Father’s Day or any keto-friendly occasion.

Ingredients

  • Ribeye steak, 1–1.5 inches thick (about 12 oz / 340 g)
  • Coarse sea salt, for seasoning
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil or avocado oil, 1 tablespoon, for searing
  • Unsalted butter, softened, 4 tablespoons (60 g)
  • Blue cheese, crumbled, 2 ounces (60 g)
  • Fresh parsley, finely chopped, 1 tablespoon
  • Garlic, minced, 1 small clove (optional)
  • Lemon juice, freshly squeezed, 1 teaspoon
  • Black pepper, freshly ground, a pinch

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Blue Cheese Butter: In a small bowl, combine 4 tablespoons softened unsalted butter, 2 ounces crumbled blue cheese, 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix until well blended but still a little chunky. Transfer onto plastic wrap, shape into a 1-inch diameter log, wrap tightly, and refrigerate until firm (at least 30 minutes).
  2. Bring Steak to Room Temperature: Take the ribeye out of the fridge and let it sit covered on the counter for 15-20 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  3. Season the Steak: Generously season both sides with coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Heat Your Skillet: Place a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Heat until it just starts to smoke.
  5. Sear the Steak: Lay the steak in the pan carefully and avoid moving it. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until a deep brown crust forms. For medium-rare, cook until internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C).
  6. Rest the Steak: Remove the steak from the skillet, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for 5-7 minutes.
  7. Slice and Serve: Cut the blue cheese butter into medallions and place on top of the resting steak. Serve immediately.

Notes

Pat the steak dry before seasoning to ensure a good crust. Rest the steak after cooking to keep it juicy. Blue cheese butter can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen. For smoky flavor, finish with a quick sear on a grill or under a broiler. Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain heat.
