This recipe was actually inspired by a reader, Reg. He recently commented on my low carb blue cheese sauce recipe that it would be great on a burger. I love that idea! But it got me thinking about the whole beef/blue cheese combo - and came up with the idea of making a blue cheese compound butter instead of the sauce. 

And although I eventually served it on a steak, not a burger - it would work perfectly on a burger, too!

How to Make Steak with Blue Cheese Butter

Make the butter in advance by combining room temperature butter, crumbled blue cheese, chopped fresh chives, salt and pepper. Just mash them together in a small bowl with a fork.

Lay out a piece of plastic wrap (cling film), and place the butter in the center. Roll the plastic wrap around to form a log shape with the butter, then twist the ends. Leave in the fridge until it has hardened.

Heat a grill or grill pan and season the steaks (I used New York strip) with salt and pepper. Cook until done to your liking, let rest, then transfer to serving plates. 

Slice the butter into six slices, then place three on each steak.

I served this with a crisp green salad, but some steamed green beans or broccoli would also work well. My husband and I both loved it!!!
