Ingredients
- 2 oz. soft, creamy-style blue cheese, at room temp
- 1 tbsp butter, slightly softened
- 1/2 lb. New York strip steak, trimmed of excess fat
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 3 tbsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp canola oil
- 1/2 cup crushed potato sticks
Directions
-
In a small bowl, mash the blue cheese and butter with a fork until smooth.
-
Pat the meat dry with paper towels and cut into 12 1-inch cubes. Season it all over with the salt. Place the cracked pepper in a shallow dish and press the steak cubes into the pepper on all sides to form a pepper crust.
-
In a medium cast-iron skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. When shimmering-hot, add the steak cubes and cook on all sides until medium-rare, about 30 seconds per side. Remove the steak from the skillet by stabbing each cube with a wooden, metal or bamboo skewer. Squash about 1 tsp of the blue cheese butter on top of the meat, then press a few potato sticks into the cheese.
