• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Season the steak generously on all sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, then melt the fat in the pan.
• When the hot, sear the steak for 3 minutes on each side.
• Place the skillet in the oven to cook the steak to your desired doneness, using a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature (see chart below).
• Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the steak to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
• While the steak is resting, make the blue cheese whip: Place the cream in a stand mixer and mix until stiff peaks form.
• Stir in the blue cheese and salt until well blended.
• Serve each portion of steak with 2 tablespoons of the blue cheese whip.

Note

• The whip can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
