To a blender or food processor, add 1/4 cup oil, apple cider vinegar, blue cheese and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Blend until mixture is smooth and creamy. Transfer dressing to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Season pork generously with salt and pepper. In a large cast-iron skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Sear pork on all sides until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer skillet to oven and roast until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest 5 to 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, to a large bowl, add arugula, pears and walnuts. Season with salt. Toss to combine. Divide salad among 4 plates and top with blue cheese dressing. Cut into 3/4"-thick slices. Serve with salad.
