These steak bites are the perfect addition to your game day gathering! Oliver’s Choice Rib Eye Steak is distinguished by its rich marbling; it is this marbling that slowly melts and bastes the meat throughout the cooking process, imparting a profusion of flavor and a buttery texture.

Instructions
Heat a cast iron, or other heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.
In a bowl, toss together the cubed steak, melted butter, Kosher salt, and pepper. Add to the heated skillet and cook until nicely seared on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes total. Remove the steak bites to a plate to rest and return the skillet to the heat.
Lower the heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons salted butter, melt. Stir in the rosemary, garlic and a pinch of salt. Cook for 1 minute, until the garlic is heated through and becomes fragrant. Add the cream and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, then stir in the blue cheese, chives and black pepper to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl.
Place the steak bites on a platter, with the sauce on the side. Garnish with chives and serve with toothpicks or cocktail forks. Serves 8 to 12 as an appetizer.
