, I decided to make a dressed up version of a more affordable cut of meat, and make gorgonzola butter ribeyes. What followed was a delicious and romantic dinner that both myself and my boyfriend enjoyed greatly. Here's the recipe:The first step is to make the marinade for the steaks.
In a bowl, combine:
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons worchestershire sauce
2 tablespoons port wine
1 tablespoon steak seasoning of your choice (I used McCormick's Montreal Steak Seasoning)
Next, take 2 ribeyes of the size of your choice, mine were 12 ounces each, and poke holes all over both sides of them, so that the marinade can penetrate into the meat. Pour the marinade over the steaks, taking care to coat both sides.
Next we make the gorgonzola butter:
With a fork, mash together 4 tablespoons of butter with 4 tablespoons gorgonzola. (Any blue cheese could be used here, I just personally prefer gorgonzola.)
Finally, line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil, place the steaks on the lined sheet, and broil on high about 7 minutes per side or until 160 degrees for medium.
And voila, you will get a delicious, juicy, melt-in-your-mouth affordable steak dinner for two.
*Things that I will try differently next time:
Cooking these steaks reminded me why I hate broiling so much. On top of setting off smoke alarms and warping bakeware, it just doesn't produce the kind of crust I desire on my steaks. Next time, I will sear each side of the ribeyes in a pan for a few minutes on each side, and then finish off baking in the oven. Overall though, this was a very delicious meal!
