Photo: Beef Tenderloin Steaks with Gorgonzola Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 (1 1/2-inch-thick) beef tenderloin steaks
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, eyeball it
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3/4 pound Gorgonzola
- 4 fresh sage leaves, thinly sliced
Directions
Let meat rest 10 minutes before beginning dinner preparation.
Place a large, flat griddle or skillet over high heat. When hot, using a pair of tongs and a folded paper towel, wipe cooking surface with oil and place steaks on hot pan. Caramelize the steaks, 2 minutes on each side. Reduce heat to moderate. Season meat with salt and pepper and cook 4 to 5 minutes longer on each side.
Preheat broiler to high.
Arrange steaks on baking sheet. Top each steak with 3 ounces Gorgonzola. Place baking sheet 6 inches from broiler heat just long enough to melt the cheese. Remove meat from the oven and top with slivers of fresh sage. Let meat rest 2 or 3 minutes, then serve immediately.

Truly one of the best steaks I've ever had. I just got a new cast iron skillet for Christmas and wanted to test it out with some nice cuts of beef... VERY impressive. Thanks, Rachel. I also made the potatoes from this episode and they were were the perfect side dish.

Excellent way to cook these super delicious steaks! There was a bit too much cheese for my taste, but this one's a keeper!

The cooking time is perfect! I made this twice before and am making it a third time tonight for our anniversary dinner. Feel free to go lighter on the gorgonzola if you aren't a huge fan but it really does add great flavor along with the sage! Impressive dinner that is perfect everytime!
