Steak With Blue Cheese Sauce

---

Very assertively-flavored steak recipe that i learned about 12 years ago when i was learning to cook to impress my now-husband. Adapted from betty crocker's new international cookbook. This spanish-influenced recipe can tend to be somewhat on the salty side, so be careful to use unsalted butter to saute the steaks, and a good-quality, not-overly-salty blue cheese in the sauce. Serve simply, with a lightly-dressed salad, good crusty bread, and a nice red wine.
