Rib-Eye Steak with Mushrooms and Bleu Cheese

This is a mouth watering steak. Every time I serve this in the restaurant the customers rave. The best part, it's so simple you can make it at home for the family.

Serves 2

  • 2 ea. Rib-eye steaks (each about 1 inch thick)
  • 1/2 tsp. Kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp. Pepper
  • 1 Tbsp. Olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp. Unsalted butter
  • 1 ea Onion - thinly sliced
  • 1/2 lb Mushrooms - thickly sliced
  • 2 Tbsp. Garlic - chopped
  • 3/4 cup Beef broth
  • 1/4 cup Brandy
  • 1/4 tsp. Fresh rosemary - minced
  • 1/2 cup Bleu cheese - crumbled

Place steaks in shallow dish. Drizzle with oil; rub oil all over steaks. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Heat a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add steaks to skillet; fry until cooked to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Using tongs, transfer steaks to plates and place in a warm oven.

Add butter and onion to sauté pan then sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and garlic; sauté until mushrooms are just tender, about 4 minutes

Add broth, brandy and rosemary and bring to a boil, scraping up browned bits. Reduce until liquid by 2/3, about 5 minutes. Add cheese; stir just until cheese melts, but still has bits of bleu cheese visible, about 1 minute.

Take the steak out of the oven and transfer it to a plate. Top with mushroom sauce.

Sausage seasoning varies with the region and the country. Since sausages are preferred by some spicy or simply garlicky, you can imagine how various the sausage herb and spices blends can be. Every individual likes a certain flavor added to the meat and the flavor also varies with the style of cooking the meat. Generally speaking sausages are fired or grilled so perhaps people would be more inclined to use sausage seasoning that somewhat resembles that of barbecued meat. And it so happens that if you want to purchase a certain kind of sausage seasoning and you are in a foreign country, you might not find it on the store shelves. Instead you will find other brands that will reflect the local tendencies in cuisine. Thus the sausage seasoning is not of only one kind and another tendency nowadays is to combine whatever you are into in terms of flavors borrowing ideas from other cultures and cuisines all over the world.

Sauces are unusual components of meals. Often they do not merit more than an afterthought as they are the natural cooking mediums of stews. Or they're made as an afterthought. Yet, in French-influenced cuisine a sauce is a central part of the culinary experience that adds to the meal itself. Here, two sauces are presented: one classic and one very modern.
