Grilled Ribeye Steak with Onion-Blue Cheese Sauce

This is my favorite way to serve ribeye steaks. The blue cheese in the sauce really takes the steak to another level.  It easily rivals anything you can find in an upscale restaurant.

One stick of butter is pictured but only a half stick is needed.

Grilled Ribeye Steak with Onion-Blue Cheese Sauce

4 ribeye steaks (about 5 oz. each)*

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 stick of butter

1 large yellow onion, sliced

1 cup heavy cream

4 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

3/4 cup crumbled blue cheese

Preheat the grill to high heat.  Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Grill the steaks until medium rare, 3 to 4 minutes per side, then remove from the heat and keep warm.  (You can also saute them in a skillet over medium-high heat if you prefer.)

Melt the 1/2 stick of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.  (I use a 5 qt. saute pan.)  Saute the onion until golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes.  Pour in the cream, and then add a dash of salt and pepper.  Add the Worcestershire sauce.  Let it bubble up, then add the blue cheese, and stir it together to melt the cheese adding more pepper or Worcestershire as you wish.  Place the steaks on plates, then spoon the sauce over the top.

*I usually use 2 steaks with a total weight of about a pound and a half.  You can also substitute sirloin or filet for the ribeye.
