A rich and juicy grilled ribeye steak topped with a creamy, tangy blue cheese butter, perfect for BBQs or cozy dinners. This recipe balances bold flavors with simple preparation for a restaurant-quality steak at home.

Ingredients

  • Ribeye steak, 1 to 1.5 inches thick (about 12-16 oz / 340-450 g)
  • Olive oil, for brushing
  • Coarse sea salt or kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Unsalted butter, 1/2 cup (113 g), softened
  • Blue cheese, 1/4 cup (about 50 g), crumbled (Stilton or Roquefort recommended)
  • Fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon, finely chopped
  • Garlic, 1 clove, minced (optional)
  • Fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon
  • Black pepper, a pinch

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Blue Cheese Butter: In a small bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, crumbled blue cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon juice, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix until well blended but still slightly chunky. Shape into a log using plastic wrap and refrigerate.
  2. Prep the Steak: Bring ribeye to room temperature for 20-30 minutes. Pat dry, brush both sides lightly with olive oil, and season generously with coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Heat grill to high heat (450-500°F). For charcoal grills, wait until coals are covered with white ash. Clean and oil grates lightly.
  4. Grill the Ribeye: Place steak over direct heat. Grill 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temp 130-135°F). Flip only once using tongs.
  5. Rest the Steak: Remove steak from grill, tent loosely with foil, and rest for 5-10 minutes to redistribute juices.
  6. Serve: Slice blue cheese butter into rounds and place on top of hot steak to melt. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Bring steak to room temperature before grilling for even cooking. Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking. Rest steak after grilling to keep it juicy. Blue cheese butter can be made a day ahead for deeper flavor. For dairy-free option, substitute vegan butter and cashew-based cheese.
