Steak and Asparagus with Blue Cheese Sauce

We travelled to England this weekend and stayed with friends, where we needed more than just strawberry salad to feed our hosts (Tristan likes to force everyone to eat what he eats).  With only five ingredients, turns out this meal is equally perfect to cook for friends when you're at someone else's place.


Ingredients:


90 g ribeye steak (cooked)
130 g asparagus (raw)
5 g butter

Blue cheese sauce:

40 g double cream
20 g blue cheese
20 g butter


Pan fry ribeye steak in butter over medium high heat for 3 minutes on each side for medium-doneness.  Ribeye was chosen for having a high fat content.  It is also readily available and cheap!  Make sure to weigh the portion after it is cooked.

Sauté asparagus in pan with butter over medium high heat until tender and lightly browned.

For sauce, combine double cream, blue cheese, and butter in a sauce pan and cook over medium low heat allowing the sauce to come to a simmer to thicken.

Pour blue cheese sauce over steak and asparagus and enjoy!
