Grilled New York Steak with Smokey Blue Onion Sauce

Ingredients:

• 2 New York Steaks, 6-8 oz
• 2 tsp avocado oil
• 1 tsp smoked sea salt
• 1 tsp pepper
• 4 Tbsp butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 (3.5 oz) pkg Rogue Creamery Smokey Blue Cheese, crumbled
• Black pepper, to taste
• Red pepper flakes, to taste

Instructions:

1. Remove steaks from the refrigerator about an hour before you are ready to cook. Rub each with avocado oil, salt, and pepper.
2. Preheat a well seasoned cast iron skillet on high for about 4 minutes. When skillet is hot, cook steaks 4 minutes on the first side, until a deep golden brown crust forms.
3. Flip with tongs or a spatula, and cook an additional 3 minutes on the second side, or until internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium rare. Remove from heat and allow to rest at least 10 minutes before serving.
4. While steak is resting, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Saute onion until golden brown and tender, about 7 minutes. Add garlic, cook until fragrant, about 2 additional minutes.
5. Stir in heavy cream and blue cheese, cook and stir constantly until cheese is melted and mixture is thickened and bubbly, about 5-6 minutes. Serve over hot mashed potatoes and steak.
