Provided by Betsy Carter

Categories     Dinner

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup crumbled blue cheese
2 tablespoons chives, finely chopped
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 cups buttermilk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 cups canola oil, for frying
2 rib eye steaks, 1 1/2 in (3 cm)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 sprigs fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Make the compound butter: In a medium bowl, mix together the butter, blue cheese, chives, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • Transfer the butter to a piece of plastic wrap and roll into a log. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until ready to use.
  • Make the fried onions: In a shallow bowl, combine the onions and buttermilk and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, paprika, salt, and pepper. Dip the buttermilk-coated onions into the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  • Fill a large skillet with high sides with the canola oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 375˚F (190˚C). Once the oil is hot, add the onions in batches and fry for 3 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer the onions to a wire rack to drain and season with salt.
  • Generously season the steaks all over with salt and pepper.
  • Add the olive oil to a large cast-iron or stainless-steel pan over high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the steaks and cook, without disturbing, until a brown crust forms, about 7 minutes. Flip the steaks and continue to cook for 7 minutes more, until the steak is browned on both sides. Sear the sides of the steak to render any fat. Add the butter and thyme to the pan. Tilt the pan toward you and baste the steaks with the melted butter for 2 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (60°C) for medium rare.
  • Serve the steak with the crispy onions and blue cheese compound butter.
  • Enjoy!

GRILLED RIB-EYE STEAK WITH BROWN BUTTER AND BLUE CHEESE



Grilled Rib-Eye Steak with Brown Butter and Blue Cheese image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Two 2-inch-thick boneless rib-eye steaks
Canola oil, for brushing
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 stick unsalted butter, cut into pieces
8 ounces blue cheese, such as Cabrales or Maytag Blue, crumbled

Steps:

  • Remove the steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling and let sit on a kitchen counter, loosely covered.
  • Heat the grill to high. Set a cast-iron skillet large enough to hold both steaks on one side of the grill. Brush the steaks with canola oil and season very liberally with salt and pepper. Grill until well charred on the first side, 2 to 3 minutes; flip and grill until well charred on the second side, another 2 to 3 minutes. (The steaks should still be raw at the center at this point.) Transfer to a cutting board.
  • Slice the steaks across the grain about 1 1/2-inches thick; don't separate the slices. Keeping the steak slices together, transfer the steaks to the skillet and top with the butter. Cover the grill and cook the steaks for 5 minutes for medium rare. Transfer the skillet to a trivet.
  • Arrange the steak slices on a platter so that the interior of the slices is facing up. Top each slice with some blue cheese. Pour the hot brown butter from the skillet over the steak. Serve immediately.

BLUE CORNMEAL PANCAKES WITH BLUEBERRY BUTTER



Blue Cornmeal Pancakes With Blueberry Butter image

This tart-but-sweet butter brings an extra hue of cerulean to dusty-blue cornmeal pancakes, but it also happens to be our favorite butter for muffins or scones.

Provided by Jesse Tyler Ferguson

Categories     Brunch     Breakfast     Summer     Cornmeal     Buttermilk     Soy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Vegetarian     Kid-Friendly

Yield Makes 14-16 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 18

Blueberry butter:
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
¼ cup fresh blueberries, washed and thoroughly dried
2 teaspoons blueberry preserves
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
Pinch of kosher salt
Pancakes:
1½ cups blue cornmeal
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1½ cups buttermilk
¼ cup canola or grapeseed oil
Nonstick cooking spray
Maple syrup

Steps:

  • Blueberry butter:
  • Add the butter, blueberries, preserves, coriander, and salt to a food processor. Blend until smooth. (Store in the fridge, wrapped in paper or plastic, or in a butter keeper, for up to 5 days; or freeze for up to 3 months.)
  • Tip: A stick of butter coming out of the fridge can take a surprisingly long time to come to room temperature. To speed it up, cut the butter into ½-inch pieces and leave on the counter; it should be at room temp in 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Pancakes:
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a medium bowl or large liquid measuring cup, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, and oil until smooth.
  • Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk mixture. Use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to fold together until just combined. Do not overmix. Allow the batter to rest for about 5 minutes.
  • Heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and grease lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using 2 heaping tablespoons of batter for each pancake. With the back of the spoon, gently spread the batter into a 3- to 4-inch circle. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until golden brown and the center of the pancake feels slightly firm to the touch, another 3 minutes. Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter.
  • Serve the pancakes hot with the blueberry butter and maple syrup.
  • Note: *Judy Kuhn is a brilliant Broadway actor who also just happens to be the singing voice of Pocahontas. It should also be noted that Vanessa Williams did a great job with the pop version of the song, which played over the closing credits.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries. If the batter seems too thick, add some of the remaining milk.
  • Ladle approximately 1/4 cup of the batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until the bottom is light golden brown, flip, and continue cooking for about 30 seconds. Remove to an ovenproof plate and keep warm in the oven until ready to serve. Serve 3 pancakes per person with a dollop of orange-honey butter, cinnamon maple syrup, and bananas.

BLUE CHEESE AND CHIVE BUTTER



Blue Cheese and Chive Butter image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     condiment

Time 1h10m

Yield about 26 tablespoons

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter, softened
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Pinch ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Put the softened butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Whip the butter until it's fluffy. Add the blue cheese, chopped chives, red pepper flakes and ground pepper. Mix until totally combined, scraping the sides as needed.
  • Lay out a long piece of plastic wrap on top of a piece of aluminum foil and scoop the butter mixture in a long strip down the middle of it. Carefully pull one side of the plastic wrap and foil over the butter, squeezing it gently to form it into a log. Continue to roll the log of butter into a roll. When it's all rolled up, twist the ends (like a piece of candy) until they become very taut (this means the butter is pressing together inside the plastic and foil to form a cohesive roll). Place the roll of butter into the fridge so it will harden, at least 1 hour, or into the freezer if you need to speed along the process.

BLUE CHEESE & BUTTER BISON BURGERS



Blue Cheese & Butter Bison Burgers image

Bison is a shockingly healthy and flavorful meat. I've actually grown to like it in burgers better than beef, if done the right way....too bad I like to add a lot of additional fat.

Provided by Melanie B.

Categories     Wild Game

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup butter, softened
4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
1 lb ground buffalo meat
4 scallions, chopped
2 teaspoons thyme, fresh
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 tomatoes, sliced
1 white onion, sliced
4 slices bacon, cut in half

Steps:

  • Mix together butter and blue cheese. Shape into a 2-inch diameter log and wrap in wax paper. I like to make this and keep one in the freezer packaged in a protective re-sealable bag.
  • Mix bison with scallions, salt, pepper, and thyme in a large bowl. Divide into four even pieces and roll into balls.
  • Slice a 4x1/2 inch discs of the blue cheese and butter mixture. Place 1 disc in the center of each bison ball, and shape into burgers.

Time 3h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 (12 ounce) rib eye steaks
1 cup Frank's red hot sauce
1/2 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup vegetable oil, divided
5 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons chili powder (mild)
3 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper, divided
1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature (4 ounces)
4 ounces crumbled blue cheese
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
6 stalks celery
1 bunch carrot (about 6 slim carrots)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together hot sauce, soy sauce, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, chopped garlic, chili powder and 2 teaspoons black pepper. Place steaks in a large zipper-locking plastic bag and pour in 1/2 of marinade. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 3 hours.
  • Combine butter, blue cheese, granulated garlic and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Roll with plastic wrap into a log shape, 1-inch in diameter; refrigerate 2 hours or until butter is firm.
  • Preheat grill or broiler to high (450°F). If using grill, keep one third of grill off. Trim root end from celery stalks, keeping any leaves at top of stalks intact. Toss celery stalks and carrots, in remaining marinade and season with salt and pepper. Reserve marinade. Grill or broil until vegetables are lightly charred but still retain some crispness; set on cool side of grill or turn oven off.
  • Warm reserved marinade in a small saucepan over low heat. Set aside.
  • Remove steaks from marinade (disgarding meat marinade), pat dry with paper toweling and grill to desired doneness; about 3-4 minutes per side for medium rare (internal temperature of 125°-130°F). Remove steaks from grill and rest for 5 minutes.
  • Serve steaks over carrots and celery, topping with warmed sauce and sliced blue cheese butter. (Reserve extra blue cheese butter for another use and can be frozen.).

Tips:

  • Use unsalted butter: Salted butter can make your blue butter too salty, so it is best to use unsalted butter.
  • Use fresh blue cheese: Fresh blue cheese will give your blue butter the best flavor. Avoid using pre-packaged or crumbled blue cheese.
  • Let the butter soften: The butter should be softened to room temperature before you make the blue butter. This will make it easier to mix the ingredients together.
  • Use a food processor or stand mixer: A food processor or stand mixer will make it easy to mix the ingredients together until they are smooth.
  • Taste the butter before serving: Taste the butter before serving to make sure it is seasoned to your liking. You can add more blue cheese or salt if needed.

Conclusion:

Blue butter is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is perfect for spreading on bread or crackers, or for adding to grilled meats or vegetables. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for vegetables or chips. Blue butter is a great way to add a pop of flavor to your next meal.
