Ingredients
- 2 lb ribeye steak
- 0.5 cup gorgonzola cheese
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
Cooking instructions
- Remove the ribeye steak from the refrigerator and let it reach room temperature. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper. (about 30 min)
- Preheat the grill to high heat (450°F to 500°F). Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled. (about 10 min) — 450°F
- Place the steaks over direct heat and grill, turning as needed, until the thickest part reaches at least 145°F (63°C) on an instant-read thermometer. Remove from the grill and rest for at least 3 minutes before serving. (about 10 min) — 450°F
- While the meat rests, place a small saucepan on the grill's side burner or a stove over medium heat. Melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. (about 2 min) — medium
- Stir in the heavy cream and crumbled gorgonzola cheese. Simmer gently until the sauce thickens slightly and the cheese has melted into a smooth consistency. (about 3 min) — medium
- Remove the sauce from the heat, whisk in the lemon juice to balance the richness, and spoon the sauce over the sliced steaks before serving. (about 1 min)
