Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Bring the ribeye steaks to room temperature for 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Prepare the vegetables by halving the baby potatoes, pears, and shallots.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved potatoes, pears, and shallots with avocado oil, salt, and pepper. Set the vegetables aside.
  3. Heat the cast iron skillet on medium-high for 5 minutes. Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side.
  4. Reduce heat to medium, add unsalted butter, garlic, and thyme to the skillet. Baste the steaks for about 2 minutes.
  5. Remove the steaks and add the vegetables to the skillet. Roast the vegetables in the oven for approximately 8 minutes.
  6. Return the seared steaks to the skillet and increase oven temperature to 475°F (246°C). Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes.
  7. Sprinkle crumbled blue cheese over the steaks and broil for 1 minute.
  8. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving with the roasted pears and vegetables, garnished with parsley.
