Ruths Chris Steak House Blue Cheese Crust Recipe 395

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350* degrees. Preheat oil in cast iron skillet or one without non-stick coating on HIGH. Season your steaks just before adding them to skillet.
• 2. When skillet is hot, add seasoned steaks, cook for 3 minutes on one side. (set timer!) Turn over after 3 minutes, add blue cheese crumbles. (They will look very well done at this point, but NO worries! ;)
• 3. Place steaks (still in the skillet) into preheated 350* oven. Roast for 12-13 minutes for medium rare steaks or 13-15 minutes for medium done steaks. Filet Mignon is best with a pink center for a juicy, tender steak!
• 4. When steaks are done, remove from oven and let them REST for about 3 minutes before plating them. Meanwhile, heat your dinner plates in the 350* oven. Melt 2-4 Tbsp of real butter in the microwave in a small glass measuring cup or bowl. Pour on top of steaks (with or without blue cheese) just before serving. Pairs well with a Cabernet or Zinfandel. Enjoy!

Steps:

• In medium mixing bowl, combine cheese, bread crumbs and heavy cream. Mix well with a spatula until all ingredients are fully incorporated, cover and refrigerate. Remove the mixture from refrigerator 30 minutes prior to use. Spread two tablespoons of the mixture on top of your favorite cooked steak (or other meats). Place under broiler for approximately 1 ½ minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. (NOTE - The mixture can be kept for about four days in the refrigerator. It makes enough to coat 6 pieces of meat)
