Steps:
- Make the compound butter: In a medium bowl, mix together the butter, blue cheese, chives, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Transfer the butter to a piece of plastic wrap and roll into a log. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until ready to use.
- Make the fried onions: In a shallow bowl, combine the onions and buttermilk and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, paprika, salt, and pepper. Dip the buttermilk-coated onions into the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Fill a large skillet with high sides with the canola oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 375˚F (190˚C). Once the oil is hot, add the onions in batches and fry for 3 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer the onions to a wire rack to drain and season with salt.
- Generously season the steaks all over with salt and pepper.
- Add the olive oil to a large cast-iron or stainless-steel pan over high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the steaks and cook, without disturbing, until a brown crust forms, about 7 minutes. Flip the steaks and continue to cook for 7 minutes more, until the steak is browned on both sides. Sear the sides of the steak to render any fat. Add the butter and thyme to the pan. Tilt the pan toward you and baste the steaks with the melted butter for 2 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (60°C) for medium rare.
- Serve the steak with the crispy onions and blue cheese compound butter.
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose the Right Steak: Opt for a steak with good marbling, as this will result in a more flavorful and tender steak. Ribeye, New York strip, and tenderloin are all excellent choices.
- Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your steak liberally with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the natural flavor of the meat.
- Cook to Your Desired Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that your steak is cooked to your desired doneness. Rare steaks should be cooked to an internal temperature of 125°F (52°C), medium-rare steaks to 135°F (57°C), medium steaks to 145°F (63°C), and well-done steaks to 165°F (74°C).
- Let the Steak Rest: After cooking, let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- Use High-Quality Butter: The quality of the butter you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the steak. Look for a butter that is made from fresh, high-quality cream.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When searing the steak, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the steak from cooking evenly.
- Add Aromatics: To enhance the flavor of the steak, add some aromatics to the pan while you are searing it. Garlic, thyme, and rosemary are all good choices.
- Baste the Steak: Basting the steak with melted butter while it is cooking will help to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Serve with Your Favorite Sides: Steak is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and grilled asparagus.
Conclusion:
With these tips in mind, you'll be able to cook a delicious and flavorful steak that will impress your friends and family. So next time you're in the mood for a steak, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
