Ingredients for Rib-Eye Steaks with peppers and Gorgonzola Butter
30g (packed) crumbled Gorgonzola cheese (about 45g )
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter, room temperature
45ml minced fresh marjoram
120ml extra-virgin olive oil
6 large garlic cloves, minced
4 1 1/4-inch-thick rib-eye steaks
2 large green peppers, cut into 1 1/2-inch-wide strips
2 large red peppers, cut into 1 1/2-inch-wide strips
2 large yellow peppers, cut into 1 1/2-inch-wide strips
How to make Rib-Eye Steaks with peppers and Gorgonzola Butter
Beat cheese, butter and 1 tablespoon marjoram in small bowl to blend. Season Gorgonzola butter with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.)
Combine oil, garlic and 2 tablespoons marjoram in large glass baking dish. Add steaks and all peppers; sprinkle with black pepper. Turn to coat. Let stand 2 hours at room temperature or chill up to 6 hours, turning occasionally.
Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Place steaks and peppers on grill; sprinkle with salt. Grill steaks about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare, and peppers until tender, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes.
Transfer steaks to platter; surround with peppers. Top each steak with 1/4 of Gorgonzola butter. Let stand just until butter softens, about 5 minutes.
