Beef Tenderloin Steaks With Gorgonzola Recipes

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• Marinate the tenderloin in the apple cider vinegar for 10 minutes. Afterward, pat the meat dry with paper towels. This step can be done up to 24 hours ahead, if desired.
• Combine the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce & mustard.
• Spread this spice paste over the tenderloin, coating the whole exterior.
• Place on a broiler pan and drizzle half of the melted butter over the tenderloin. Broil for 5 minutes. Turn tenderloin over to other side & drizzle with the remaining butter. Broil for another 5 minutes.
• NOTE - BEGIN MAKING SAUCE NOW, SEE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW.
• Set the oven to 350 degrees and bake the tenderloin at this temperature for 45 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with Gorgonzola Sauce.
• GORGONZOLA SAUCE:.
• Bring the cream to a full boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, then continue to simmer rapidly for 35 to 40 minutes, until it's thickened like a white sauce, stirring occasionally.
• Remove the pan from the heat & add the gorgonzola, parmesan, horseradish, salt, and pepper. Whisk rapidly until the cheeses melt, add parsley, and serve.

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in saucepan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and shallot, then 1 cup broth, Port and cranberries. Boil liquid until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 8 minutes. Set sauce aside.
• Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper. Add steaks to skillet; cook to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to plate; cover loosely with foil. Add rosemary to skillet, then sauce and remaining 1/4 cup broth. Boil 1 minute, scraping up browned bits. Season with salt and pepper; spoon sauce over steaks. Top each with cheese.
