Steak with Blue Cheese Butter
and roasted fingerling potatoes / green beans
Add a flavorful finishing touch to tonight's steaks with a savory compound butter made with blue cheese. We last featured this meal in 2019.
Smarts 1: Compound butters can be frozen for up to a few months. Use them to add flavor to finished meats (as in this recipe) or to add richness to soup, roasted vegetables, or toast.
Smarts 2: Tonight's vegetables should be roasted in the oven, but feel free to fire up the grill as well if you prefer to cook your steaks that way (just choose grill or stovetop for your cooking method).
