Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and thyme. Cook, stirring constantly, until the onion is tender. Stir in the beef broth, scraping any onion bits from the bottom of the pan, then stir in the port wine. Bring to a boil, and cook until the mixture has reduced to about 1/2 cup. Set aside. This may also be prepared ahead and reheated.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Heat oil in a cast-iron or other oven-safe skillet over high heat. Sear the steaks quickly on both sides until browned, then place the entire pan in the oven.
- 3
Roast the steaks in the oven for about 15 minutes for medium rare, with an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). You may adjust this time so the steaks finish just below your preferred doneness if medium is not what you want. Remove from the oven and place on a baking sheet. Stir together the panko crumbs and blue cheese. Top each steak with a layer of this mixture.

Preheat the oven's broiler. Place the steaks under the preheated broiler until the cheese topping is browned and bubbly, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oven, and let stand for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve with warm port wine sauce.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
