  4. Let the Steak Rest for about 5 minutes on a cutting board, loosely covered with foil.
  5. Sauté Aromatics by lowering the heat, adding 2 tablespoons of butter, then adding 1 finely diced shallot and 1 chopped garlic clove.
  6. Deglaze the Pan by pouring in 1/2 cup of beef broth and scraping up the flavorful bits stuck to the skillet.
  7. Make the Blue Cheese Sauce by stirring in 1/2 cup of heavy cream, bringing it to a gentle boil, then adding 1/4 cup of crumbled blue cheese.
  8. Finish by adding 1/2 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce and adjusting seasoning, adding more beef broth if sauce is too thick.
