Grilled Ribeye Steak with Onion-Blue Cheese Sauce AND Soy Garlic Green Beans


Pioneer Woman, you are my hero.

The end.

Yesterday, one of my favorite blogs, ThePioneerWoman.com posted this recipe. If her photos didn't sell me enough her descriptions did. She writes like I think and I love it. Let's just say she captured my sentiments EXACTLY on her post. It has nothing to do with that big, red, juicy piece of meat sitting on a bed of cream and onions. Nothing. PLEASE check out her site here for more photos. You will die. I did.

Her recipe was INCREDIBLY simple to make with only a few ingredients. HIYO silver. This was da-bomb.com as my friend would say. Let's also say I am wearing something with a stretchy waistband this morning.

I accompanied the heart attack with a side of green beans inspired by my sister.

Recipe from thepioneerwoman.com

Grilled Ribeye Steak with Onion-Blue Cheese Sauce

2 ribeye steaks
2 tablespoons butter
Salt
Pepper
4 tablespoons butter
1 very large yellow onion
3/4 to 1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese

Salt and pepper both sides of the steaks. Grill in 2 tablespoons butter until medium rare.

Saute onions in 4 tablespoons butter over high heat. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until dark and caramelized. Reduce heat to simmer and pour in cream. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until reduced by half. Stir in blue cheese until melted. Serve steaks on generous portion of sauce.









Soy Garlic Green Beans

2 cups fresh green beans
1 tsp. minced garlic
2 T. soy sauce
4 T. water

Saute all of the good stuff together for 5-8 minutes until tender. As an addition I deglazed my steak pan from above recipe with the only alcohol on-hand, Bud Light Lime. I reduced it and poured it into the pan as well. I then won my 3rd wife of the year award. Enjoy.
