Blue cheese adds a salty touch and depth of flavor that compliments the other ingredients well.
Ingredients
12 ounces ribeye steak
2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon honey
4 cups mixed greens
2 medium nectarines, pitted and sliced
2 large scallions, slivered
2 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
Directions
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Coat the steak with 1/2 tablespoon of the olive oil, then sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Place the steak on the grill or hot pan and don't move it for at least 2 minutes. Grill steak 3 minutes total on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Remove from heat; let stand 8 minutes. Cut steak diagonally across the grain into thin slices.
While steak rests, combine lemon juice, honey, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add mixed greens and toss to coat. Add nectarines and scallions. Arrange the sliced steak on top of the dressed greens and sprinkle with blue cheese. Serve immediately.

Sheet Pan Steak with Blue Cheese and Broccoli
You don't necessarily need a grill to cook your ribeye steaks to perfection.
Here, ribeye steak is cooked under your oven's broiler to create a crispy outer texture and well-done center. Blue cheese adds a salty touch while broccoli is served on the side to get your greens for the day.
Ingredients
8 ounces button mushrooms, halved or quartered
1 small red bell pepper, cored and sliced vertically
3 cups broccoli florets
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8-ounce ribeye or strip steaks, about one inch thick
2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese
Directions
If your broiler element is at the top of the oven, move the top rack to 6 inches below the broiler. Place the mushrooms, peppers, broccoli and half the salt on the sheet pan and drizzle with half of the olive oil. Toss to coat.
Move the vegetables to the sides of the pan, making room in the center for the steaks. If desired, cut the steaks into four even portions. Rub the steaks with the remaining olive oil and sprinkle both sides with remaining salt and pepper. Place in the center of the pan.
Broil the steaks for 4 minutes, then take the pan out and turn the steaks, and broil for 5 minutes longer. Remove from the broiler; transfer the steak and vegetables to plates, and sprinkle each steak with bleu cheese.

Steak with Whiskey-Mustard Sauce
The whiskey mustard sauce in this recipe is robust and earthy, pairing well with ribeye steak.
Serve these steaks on top of your favorite sauteed veggies, or with a big salad on the side.
Ingredients
4 4-ounce steaks
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
For the Sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
1/2 cup whiskey
1 cup chicken stock, or vegetarian chicken stock
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup parsley leaves, chopped
Directions
Pat steak dry and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and thyme.
Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then sear steak, turning once, about 6-8 minutes total for medium-rare. Let steak rest on a platter, uncovered, 10 minutes.
While steak rests, add shallot to skillet and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add whiskey and carefully ignite with a long kitchen match (use caution; flames will shoot up). When flames die down, whisk in stock, sugar and mustard and boil until sauce is reduced to about 1/2 cup, about 6 minutes. Add meat juices from platter, then whisk in butter and parsley.
