Rib Eye Steak Peppercorn Blue Cheese Wine Sauce

Rib Eye Steak Peppercorn Blue Cheese Wine Sauce, looking for something really special for dinner this is an excellent one. It’s easy to do and everyone will praise you as a “Grill Master”. Just grill your steaks until favored temperature, top with blue cheese crumbles and drizzle the wine sauce. When the cheese melts you have an elegant and delicious masterpiece with a “Kiss of Smoke”

This is a rich sauce for any type of steak and if you double the recipe it will make a fine marinade. We must try this on fowl using white wine.  

Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on our Louisiana Wood Pellet Grill/Smoker but sometimes we cook inside. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with a rainforest theme.  Wood burning stove, little lights, candles, lanterns and surround sound. We enjoy a little wine, or strawberry margaritas using frozen strawberries for ice, good food, music and sometimes a dance or two…

Cooking Directions: Louisiana Wood Pellet Grill

These were 2 inch steaks so they needed a little time on the grill. I put them over the Flame-Broiler for a hot sear for about 3 ½ minutes per side. Then move them over off the direct heat for about 4 more minutes Now, top with your blue cheese and drizzle your wine sauce over it until the cheese melts. When I reached an internal temp around 120 degrees (49c). U.S.D.A. safe is 125 degrees (52c)  pull it off, cover it and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. This will be rare. Keep in mind that the meat will continue cooking for another 5 to 10 degrees after you pull it off the grill. So for medium pull it at 140 (60c) and overdone 160 (72c). I use a Maverick ProTemp Instant Read Thermometer for checking meat temps.

Note: I get a lot of questions about the kind of pellets you can use with a recipe. Keep in mind that a recipe is just an outline. Some you need follow closely like when you are making bread, but most you can do anything you can dream, our favorite way to cook. Feel free to mix and match the pellets until you find a combination you really like. Also you are only smoking at temps less than 250 degrees, anything higher is cooking and there will not be much if any smoke so it does not matter what kind of pellet you are using.

About Our Recipes

We do our recipes on our patio where we have a lineup of grills, including Louisiana, Green Mountain, Memphis, Royall, Traeger pellet grills, Char-Griller, Saber, Charmglow, Char-Broil, The Big Easy, Pacific Living Pizza Oven, Lodge Sportsman’s, Brinkman and Weber. I call it our “Wall of Grill”. Our grilling styles are healthy and low fat and will fit pelletheads, gas, natural wood and even charcoal purists. Almost any of our recipes can be done on any kind of good BBQ.

The important thing to keep in mind is TIME & TEMPERATURE. You can even do some of them in the oven or crock pot, but, then you lose all the flavors you get from cooking outdoors. But sometimes it does rain.

Remember that a recipe is simply an outline; it is not written in stone. Don’t be afraid to make changes to suit your taste. Take it and run with it….
