Rosemary Rubbed Steak and a Camenzola Blue Cheese Sauce



It was as good as it looks. Used rosemary powder. Which is easy to make. I guess you could buy it too. But if you have fresh roemary, you can add it your oven at 120 degrees for an hour or so, then add it to a spice grinder (coffee grinder), and you've got rosemary powder.

The Steak: Chuck Eye..next to ribeye, almost as good of a cut, but way way cheaper. Cut them into pretty little squares.

The Steak Rub: 1 tsp rosemary powder, 1 tsp ancho chili powder, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp chipotle powder, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp corriander, salt

Cooking: Sear the steak for a few minutes on each side on high heat in 1 tbsp olive oil. I think canola would work just fine as well. Then add to the oven for 7 minutes at 430 degrees. No more than 7 minutes.

The Sauce: 1 cup of cream, 5/8 inch deep slice of camenzola cheese, tbsp butter,
1 tsp chopped chives, 1/2 tsp rosemary powder, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, pinch of salt and pepper. Let the sauce steep, and then keep stirring until it thickens to your desire.

Mashed potatoes: Add 1/4 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of cream sauce, 1 tbsp butter, salt, and some more fresh chives.

Some asparugus was in there too. Which was just cooked with thyme, garlic powder, butter, salt, and a little water.

Crazy good.
