Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Pierce the potatoes with a fork, then microwave until easily pierced but slightly firm in the center, about12 minutes. Brush with olive oil and bake directly on the oven rack until tender with crisp skins, about 10 minutes. Keep warm.
- Season the steak with salt and pepper and rub with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Mix the blue cheese, sour cream and herbs in a bowl.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the skillet with 1/2 teaspoon salt and drizzle lightly with olive oil, then add the steak and weigh it down with a heavy skillet; cook until browned, 4 minutes. Flip the steak, replace the top skillet and brown the other side, 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, remove the top skillet and cook 1 to 4 more minutes for medium rare. Transfer to a plate to rest.
- Return the skillet to medium-high heat, add the shallot and port and boil until thickened, about 4 minutes. Stir in the broth and any juices from the steak and cook 5 minutes, then whisk in the butter. Split open the baked potatoes and top with the blue cheese mixture. Slice the steak; serve with the potatoes and sauce.

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 for Cooking a Perfect Well-Done Steak with Blue Cheese Compound Butter
- Choose the right cut of steak. A well-done steak should be cooked from a thick, juicy cut of meat, such as a ribeye, strip loin, or tenderloin. Avoid thin cuts of meat, as they will become dry and tough when cooked to a well-done temperature.
- Season the steak generously. Before cooking, season the steak liberally with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
- Sear the steak in a hot skillet. Preheat a large skillet over high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add the steak and sear it for 2-3 minutes per side, or until a deep brown crust has formed.
- Transfer the steak to the oven. After searing the steak, transfer it to a baking dish. Roast the steak in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until the steak reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the steak rest. Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
