Steps:
- Trim off the excess fat from the meat, and then cut strips less than 1-inch wide. Rotate the meat and cut into small bite-size pieces. If you see any more large chunks of fat, gristle or long silvery membrane, cut them off.
- Sprinkle generously with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Toss the meat around a bit to thoroughly coat with the seasonings.
- Next, turn on your ventilation fan-you'll need it! Heat the skillet over medium-high to high heat. As the pan heats, add about 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet. Allow the butter to melt, and then get very brown, before you add the meat.
- Place some of the meat in the pan in a single layer. It should sizzle loudly when it hits the pan - if it doesn't, the pan isn't hot enough. Don't stir or disrupt the meat for 30 to 45 seconds. You want it to sizzle and brown on one side. Scoop as many steak bites as you can with your spatula and flip them over. Repeat until all the meat is turned. Cook for an additional 30 to 45 seconds-just long enough to sear the outside of the meat but NOT cook the inside.
- Remove the meat to a clean plate. Add a little more butter to the pan and repeat the cooking process with the next batch just as before. Lastly, when all the meat is nicely browned and removed to the plate, pour all that browned/blackened butter all over the meat. And enjoy!

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!
BLACKENED STEAK BITES WITH BLUE CHEESE SAUCE
This recipe is similar to an appetizer served at my favorite Italian restaurant. It is a nice change from the usual appetizers and always gets rave reviews! I have used tenderloin in the past, but have found that a good quality top sirloin works very well and is less expensive. Bernaise sauce is a good alternative if you don't like blue cheese.

Tips for Making Blue Cheese Onion Steak Bites:
- Choose the Right Steak: For the best results, use a tender cut of steak, such as ribeye, strip loin, or flank steak. Avoid using tough cuts, as they will not cook evenly.
- Slice the Steak Against the Grain: This will help to tenderize the steak and make it more flavorful.
- Marinate the Steak: Marinating the steak in a mixture of Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic, and olive oil will help to add flavor and moisture to the meat.
- Cook the Steak Over High Heat: This will help to sear the outside of the steak and keep the inside juicy.
- Don't Overcook the Steak: Steak is best when it is cooked to medium-rare or medium. Overcooking will make the steak tough and dry.
- Add the Blue Cheese and Onions at the End: This will help to prevent the cheese from melting and the onions from burning.
- Serve the Steak Bites Immediately: Serve the steak bites hot off the grill or pan with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Blue cheese onion steak bites are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. By following these tips, you can make sure that your steak bites are tender, flavorful, and juicy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try!
