Rib-Eyes With Whiskey Blue Cheese Sauce And Mushrooms

• 2 (10 ounce) rib eye steaks
• salt and pepper
• 2 -4 tablespoons oil
• 2 -4 tablespoons butter (no substitutes)
• 1 small onion, sliced
• 1 -2 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
• 3/4 lb sliced button mushroom (can use less)
• 3/4 cup beef broth
• 1/4 cup whiskey or 1/4 cup brandy
• 1 cup crumbled blue cheese
• 1/4 - 1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese

1. Place the steaks in a shallow dish.

3. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour (no less!).
4. Melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat.
5. Add in onion slices and garlic; saute for about 3-4 minutes or until softened.
6. Then add in sliced mushrooms and continue to cook until just tender (about 5 minutes).
7. In another skillet heat a couple tablespoons oil over medium heat.
8. Add in the steaks; fry to desired doneness (about 4-5 minutes per side for medium rare).
9. Transfer the steaks to a plate and tent loosely with foil to keep warm.
10. Add in the broth and whiskey or brandy to the same skillet that the steaks were fried; bring to a boil and scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
11. Add in the mushroom mixture; bring to a boil and simmer until the liquid is thick enough to coat the spoon lightly (about 5-6 minutes).

13. Season the sauce with salt and pepper.
14. Spoon the sauce over the steaks, then sprinkle with 1/4-1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese.
