  • When butter melts into extra-virgin olive oil, add in 2 cloves garlic and the shallots, sauté for 3 minutes.

  • Stir until cheese melts.
  • Reduce heat to lowest setting.
  • Soften 4 tablespoons butter in microwave on high for 15 seconds.
  • Mix in chives and 2 cloves minced garlic and reserve.
  • Remove steaks from oven and let rest 5 minutes.
  • Place 1/4 of the chive and garlic butter mixture on each steak to melt down over the meat as they rest.

  • Taste to adjust seasoning.
  • Serve steaks with pasta alongside.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I love Recipezaar! The recipes and people have helped me create dishes I would never have done by myself. I finally have gotten the knack of bread (which I love) because of this site. I am on the go workaholic who loves cooking and serving good fresh food to my family. Brought up with Italian food. Inspired by my grandmother who I should have paid more attention to while she was cooking and baking. Mother is a very good cook and a little sneaky. Liver, rabbit, duck, tripe, lamb and meat family would get on hunting trips was served often. Can't really do that with my family as they don't like these different dishes as I do and have protested. Family from Chieti &amp; Naples Italy. My pet peeve is overcooking pasta. I like it al dente everytime and never add sugar to my tomato sauce. My motto is I would rather have a little of a good , natural thing than a lot of no-fat low-fat stuff.</p>
