1
Prepare the Steak
Pat the beef steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help achieve a nice sear.
2
Season the Steaks
Rub the blackened seasoning evenly over both sides of each steak. For a spicier kick, you can add more seasoning to taste.

3
Preheat the Pan
Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottom pan over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. If using olive oil, add it just before placing the steak in the pan.
4
Cook the Steaks
Once the pan is hot, place the seasoned steaks in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. Avoid moving the steaks around to allow a good crust to form.
5
Add the Bleu Cheese
In the last minute of cooking, sprinkle the bleu cheese crumbles on top of the steaks. Cover the pan with a lid to help the cheese melt slightly.

6
Plate the Dish
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute. Serve with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley for garnish if desired.
