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 BONE-IN RIB-EYE STEAKS WITH BLUE CHEESE
The usual formula for cooking an amazing slab of steak is as simple as they come: salt plus pepper plus a short stint over a hot fire. But there are times when you want an extra shot of flavor. Some good crumbled blue cheese sprinkled on the hot steak so it melts over the top does just that, especially when you spike it with hot sauce and butter. I like to use a combination of direct and indirect heat when grilling a bone-in piece of meat; it allows a crust to form but not burn while keeping the meat juicy inside. But you know your grill best, so let your instinct guide you as to where to move the steaks and when you think they are done. And if blue cheese isn't your thing, follow the grilling directions here but leave your meat bare except for the salt and pepper. If you start with good meat, you will never go wrong.

Steps:
- Season steaks with salt and pepper at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour before you plan to cook them. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature.
- Heat grill to high. If using a charcoal grill, mound coals to one side, allowing for an area of indirect heat. If using a gas grill, turn on only a few of the burners and leave the rest off for indirect heat.
- Lightly oil steaks. Place on the hottest part of the grill. Cook, covered, until they develop a golden-brown crust, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Move steaks to indirect heat and crumble cheese over the top; cover and continue cooking 2 to 5 minutes longer, depending on desired doneness. (Pull the meat at 125 degrees for rare.)
- Transfer steaks to a cutting board to rest, loosely covered with foil, for 10 minutes. While steaks rest, stir together butter, chives and hot sauce. Pour over steak before serving.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Cut of Steak: Opt for tender and flavorful cuts like ribeye, strip loin, or tenderloin. Ensure the steaks are at least 1 inch thick for even cooking.
- Season Wisely: Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper before cooking. You can also add other seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika for extra flavor.
- Use a Cast Iron Skillet: A cast iron skillet provides excellent heat retention and sears the steaks perfectly. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, use a heavy-bottomed skillet that can withstand high temperatures.
- Cook to Desired Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the steaks are cooked to your desired doneness. For medium-rare, cook to an internal temperature of 135°F; for medium, cook to 145°F; and for medium-well, cook to 155°F.
- Let the Steaks Rest: Once cooked, let the steaks rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- Compound Butter Magic: The basil-blue cheese butter is the star of this dish. Make sure to use high-quality ingredients and mix them thoroughly. It's the perfect complement to the savory steaks.
Conclusion:
This recipe combines tender and juicy steaks with a delectable basil-blue cheese butter, creating a flavorful and satisfying meal.
