Had blue cheese crusted filet, good but too much cheese for me. I do like some gorganzola on new York strip

Not if I have a good cut. Helps give some texture and flavor to something cheaper though.

I usually put Kraft American cheese singles on top of my steaks for special occasions.

I put a blue cheese butter on a steak occasionally. Looks like this:





It is delicious, but I do it when I get a steak AND a blue cheese craving simultaneously.

That is a prime filet.

I combine cheddar, sharp cheddar, mild cheddar (and some colby jack), and then stuff it into the little slits I've cut in the steak (right after I pulled it out of the pot), so that I get a cheese medley with every bite.

I've tried the steak and cheese thing with minimal success. Somehow the cheese deflects the microwave's waves and upsets the steaks cooking atmosphere. Admittedly I have not tried cheese on my boiled steaks though.

Boiling helps prevent the formation of crust.

Jax, your steak and sauce looks a lot like mine when I want a bit of gorgonzola butter. The saltiness and slight flavor from the cheese and butter compliments the steak's flavor if you put just enough on it. It's an added component not a heavy duty flavor. It doesn't mask the meat.

Love a gorgonzola or blue cheese butter, but I don't like it when steak joints just top the steak with blue cheese and cook it on the top like a crust. It's too much.

Sometimes, I like a brown butter sauce with fried parsley atop a steak. Delicious. Sometimes, I want nothing.

Agreed. I think the filet is the perfect steak for this, as it doesn't have a lot of fat. I don't like the cheese on a fattier piece of meat. I like the flavor imparted by the fat and somehow the cheese just doesn't help it...

I've used it on a ribeye and it's fine, but it' better suited for a nice thick filet.

Can't imagine doing so. No disrespect to someone who happens to like it.

My favorite way to cook a rib-eye

Coat the outside of the steak with Paul Prudhomme's Blackened Steak Magic.

Pan sear in a hot iron skillet for 2 minutes each side.

Top with Pimiento Cheese (Palmetto Cheese works best but that might not be available in La).

Put in the oven for about 10 minutes.

Friggin' delicious.

Another reason for the divorce. Just so you know, I use some of the alimony money to buy gorgonzola for my thick prime filets.

prime filets

Waste of money Gris. Just buy choice when you're buying fillets. This is mho anyway.

Can't say I disagree, but my steak picture above is a prime filet. I was at Costco, and they had prime filets for $11.99/lb. and the only choice filets they in the case were whole tenderloins. I didn't feel like waiting for them to cut me some steaks, so I took the prime filets.

The prime filet LOOKED better. Did it taste better? I can't rightly say, one way or the other.

Prime fillets are awesome. It's just one cut I can't really tell much difference in between choice and prime.

I was also trying to win the 4th of July food porn contest. I think the prime filet put me over the top...
