in the meantime season it on both sides with your favorite seasoning, depending on what temp you like you beef.. me i eat it bloody.. cook it about 6-10 minutes on each side.... careful to cook it once on each side... also a lid on the pan will help it cook evenly.
as far as the blue cheese.. if your not a fan of straigh blue cheese dont waste your time.. you will only ruin your steak...
if you are, grab soem bread crumbs, seasoning, and mux all 3 together with a mixer, pat it down, when the steak is done put the blue cheese atty on top of the steak, and pop it in the broiler till it browns...
you can also do the same with horseraddish, bread crumbs, and seasoning... i reccomend a garlic pepper blend
good eating

A lid? umm that results in steaming and the crust not developing right.
As for extra virgin olive oil, there is no point really unless that is all you have. The smoke point is low, any flavor would get cooked out or turned bitter.
Just heat your broiler. Then get a cast iron near lava hot. Rub room temp steak with some peanut, canola, or vegetable oil. Sprinkle on some salt and black pepper. Drop in pan, let sit without touching it for a few min. Flip and put in over under broiler. Leave a few more minutes and its done. Top as you desire.
