Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Start by patting the ribeye steaks dry with a paper towel. Season with coarse salt and pepper on both sides and let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat with olive oil until shimmering. Sear the steaks for 2 minutes on each side.
In a medium bowl, combine blue cheese crumbles, breadcrumbs, melted butter, garlic powder, and a pinch of black pepper. Mash until resembling wet sand.
Press the cheese mixture firmly onto the top of each steak for an even coverage.
Bake in a preheated 400°F oven for about 5 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness.
Remove from oven and let rest for 3 minutes before serving.
