Grilled Ribeye with Blue Cheese & Onions

This meal is always by request of my husband. He absolutely loves this steak. I am not a personal fan of blue cheese so I usually pull out a few sauteed onions to put on mine. This recipe is from the Pioneer Woman, so if you like blue cheese, there's no doubt it's going to be good. She is one amazing cook!

Ingredients:

2 ribeye steaks

butter

salt

pepper

4 Tbsp. butter

large yellow onion, sliced or diced

3/4 to 1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese

Directions:

1. Butter each side of each steak and season with salt and pepper. Grill until medium-rare, or desired doneness.

2. Saute onion in 4 Tbsp. butter over high heat until dark and caramelized. Reduce heat to simmer and pour in heavy cream. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until reduced by half. Stir in blue cheese until melted. Serve steaks on or over the sauce.

Mesquite Flat Iron Steak

My family is a big fan of flat iron steak. You can buy a large enough cut to feed the whole family and it is reasonably priced. I have yet to have one that isn't tender too. McCormick's had their marinade packets on sale at the grocery store last week so I decided to pick one up and try it. It was really good, lots of flavor, and the kids out-ate us!

Ingredients:
2 lb. flat iron steak
1 envelope McCormick's Mesquite Marinade
1/4 cup oil
1/4 water

Directions:
1. Mix marinade seasoning with water and oil. Reserve a small amount for basting. Place remainder in a large ziploc bag.
2. Rinse steak and pat dry. Place in ziploc bag with marinade.
3. Refrigerate over night.
4. Grill over medium heat, 10 minutes each side, brushing with reserved marinade.
