Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
  2. 2 Season beef with blackened seasoning to coat on all sides.
  3. 3 Heat oil in a cast iron skillet on the preheated grill until oil is smoking. Cook beef in hot oil in small batches, reheating oil between batches, until slightly crusty, 1 to 2 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium doneness. Remove beef to a serving plate.
  4. 4 Make sauce: Stir together cream cheese and evaporated milk in a saucepan over low heat until cream cheese is melted. Whisk in blue cheese crumbles, garlic powder, white pepper, and cayenne pepper; simmer, stirring frequently, until sauce is smooth, 2 to 3 minutes.
  5. 5 Serve blue cheese sauce with beef.
