INGREDIENTS

  • 2 1 1/2-inch-thick strip steaks (about 11/2 lbs) 
  • Kosher salt
  • Pepper

  • 2 tbsp. white wine vinegar
  • 1/4 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 3 tbsp. crumbled blue cheese (about 1 oz)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Heat oven to 450°F. Heat large cast-iron skillet on medium-high. Season steaks with salt and pepper. Add 1 teaspoon oil to skillet, then add steaks and garlic and cook until steaks are browned, 3 minutes per side.
