Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 (12-oz each) 1-inch thick boneless strip steaks
  • 2 tbsp canola or avocado oil
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt
  • 4 (½-inch) slices compound blue cheese butter (ervative-free recipe not specified)

Method
 

  1. Remove steaks from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking
  2. Pat dry with paper towels to maximize sear
  3. Place on baking sheet, brush with oil, and season both sides with salt and pepper
  4. Heat grill to high (450-500°F) as steaks rest
  5. Clean grates with wire brush for even contact
  6. Test readiness by holding hand 5 inches above grill surface (should be too hot)
  7. Place steaks on hot grill, seam side first if applicable
  8. Cook 2 minutes covered, then rotate 90° to create crosshatch pattern
  9. Flip steaks, rotate again, and cook for 2 more minutes
  10. Return steaks for 0.5 inch to 1 inch slices, reintroduce to grill until compound butter is melted and golden
  11. Remove from grill and let rest 5 minutes before serving

Notes

Do not substitute kosher salt with table salt; the higher sodium content can affect seasoning balance.
Compound blue cheese butter can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Adjust oil quantity based on grill surface condition for optimal sear.
