Rib-Eye Steak with Blue Cheese Butter and Walla Walla Onion RingsElinor Carucci

Each large steak will serve two people. The steaks need to marinate overnight, so start this recipe one day ahead.

What to drink:

Try a bold, smoky red. The Château du Cayrou 2005 Cahors (France, $20) would be perfect with the steak.
