Steak with Gorgonzola sauce
Description
The sauce is prepared by melting butter and softening garlic and rosemary, then adding cream and lemon juice, simmering to thicken. Crumbled Gorgonzola is stirred in off heat until melted, seasoning the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. This creates a creamy, flavorful sauce with herbal and citrus notes enhancing the cheese's sharpness.
Steaks are seasoned and cooked in a hot pan until well browned on both sides, basted with butter, garlic, and rosemary during cooking to build flavor. Cooking time around 2-3 minutes per side aims for medium rare doneness. Letting steaks rest after cooking preserves juices.
Serving the steaks alongside this sauce creates a classic pairing where the sauce's creaminess balances the beef's meatiness while herbs elevate the overall flavor profile, suitable for a hearty dinner.
Ingredients
For the Gorgonzola sauce
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3 garlic crushed/minced, cloves
- 1 prig rosemary
- 1½ cups cream
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 100 g (3½oz) gorgonzola crumbled
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
For the steak
- 4 rib-eye steak
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 prigs rosemary
- 2 garlic halved, cloves
Instructions
- To make the sauce, melt the butter in a pan set over medium-low heat.
- Add the garlic and rosemary and cook until the garlic softens. (Approximately 1-2 minutes)
- Pour in the cream and lemon juice.
- Allow to simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
- Remove from the heat and add the cheese. Stir until the cheese has melted then season to taste with salt and pepper.
- To make the steak, pat the steak dry with paper towels then season generously with salt.
- Heat a large cast iron pan or griddle pan over high heat.
- Add the steaks and cook until well-browned on both sides. Once flipped, add the butter, garlic and rosemary and baste the steak with the butter. I cook my steaks for 2-3 minutes per side until they are medium rare.
