Grilled New York Strip with Blue Cheese Butter

Start by seasoning both sides of your steak with salt. Pat it into the steak. Season one side with the cracked black pepper. Let this sit on the counter, at room temperature for about 30 minutes. During this time, heat you grill. I always prefer charcoal, but do what you want on this step.

Take the butter and add it to a small bowl. Add the blue cheese and chives. Mix well and set inside the refrigerator to cool.

Once the grill is preheated, clean your grates using a wire brush or your favorite method. Then take the steak and place onto direct heat, cracked pepper side down. Sear the steak for about 4 minutes.

Turn it over and cook until your desired tenderness. I go medium, to medium-rare nowadays which is another 4 minutes or so.

Remove from the grill, and place onto your serving dish. Top with the blue cheese butter, and gently spread it over the top before slicing into it.

Yes, this is what I had for lunch, and after 3 hours of working outdoors, it was well deserved. That’s it. And trust me, the combination is out of this world.

The result is a perfect flavor combination. My brother-in-law turned me onto the blue cheese and steak combination years ago. To this day, it’s one of my favorites. As much as I love cooked mushrooms with my steak, this one tops it. The grilled New York Strip with blue cheese butter has this creaminess, along with that great kick from the blue cheese that will just blow your mind. Trust me, it’s a good one. Hope you enjoy!
