I prefer my steaks grilled, but when I pan fry them, I like to make a blue cheese gravy to drizzle over the top with the drippings:
3/4 Can Beef Broth
1/4 Cup Brandy
4 Cloves Garlic, crushed or minced
1/4 Tsp Dried Basil
3 Tbsp Butter
1 1/4 Cup Blue Cheese
1.) Saute the garlic in the butter, set aside.
2.) Pan fry the steaks. When they're done, take them out of the pan, set them aside tented with foil.
3.) Add the broth, brandy and garlic to the pan drippings. Boil it down until it coats a spoon.
4.) Reduce the heat and stir in the blue cheese until it's melted evenly. Add the basil and salt and pepper to taste. Pour the sauce over the steaks.
It's a very rich sauce and definitely not healthy, but it sure is good on special occasions.
