The idea for this sauce came from a meal that Brandon ordered at a local wine bar this past winter. It was a huge steak on top of a bed of caramelized onions in a creamy, blue cheese sauce. All this time we had been melting blue cheese on top of our steaks (delicious!), but the onions brought it to another level. I wouldn’t exactly call this a recipe…it takes 3 ingredients, but if you like blue cheese, this will change the way you eat steaks. It would be a great way to dress up steaks for company as well without having to do anything too complicated.
We like to have the Caramelized Onion Blue Cheese Sauce on New York Strips. You can serve it with my Tomato Cucumber Salad.

*This will give you 2 generous portions or 4 normal portions.
Directions – Pictured below.
This particular night we didn’t feel like grilling, so we cooked our steaks in a cast iron skillet. I like to salt the steaks and let them sit out for about 40 minutes. This allows the salt to flavor the meat and when the steak is at room temp it will cook more evenly. Dry the steaks and wipe off any excess salt. Pepper the steaks and they are ready to cook.
Enjoy!!
