Gorgonzola Madeira Sauce For Beef Recipes

Steps:

• Bring the heavy cream to a full boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, then continue to boil rapidly for 45 to 50 minutes, until thickened like a white sauce, stirring occasionally.
• Off the heat, add the Gorgonzola, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and parsley. Whisk rapidly until the cheeses melt and serve warm. If you must reheat, warm the sauce over low heat until melted, then whisk vigorously until the sauce comes together.

Steps:

• Sprinkle the fillets on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Cut off the tough ends of the mushroom stems. Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a small saucepan and add the mushrooms. Cook briefly until heated through, 1 minute or less. Remove from heat.
• Heat the oil in a heavy skillet large enough to hold the fillets in one layer. Add the fillets and cook 3 minutes on one side. Turn the pieces and cook 2 minutes on the other side.
• Transfer the meat to a warm platter and pour off the fat from the skillet.
• Add 1 tablespoon of butter and the shallots to the skillet. Cook, stirring, about 1 minute, add the wine and broth and stir to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom and sides of the pan.
• Add the cheese and cook, stirring briskly, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is reduced to about 1/3 cup.
• Line a saucepan with a sieve and pour the sauce into the sieve. Press around with a rubber spatula to extract as much liquid as possible. Bring the sauce to the simmer and swirl in the remaining tablespoon of butter.
• Spoon the sauce over the meat and garnish each serving with an equal portion of the mushrooms.

Steps:

• In a small saute pan heat the butter to medium-high.
• Add the garlic and onion and saute until onion is clear. Reduce heat if garlic and onions begin to brown.
• Add the Madeira wine and deglaze the pan. Lower to simmer and let the wine reduce by half.
• Add the beef stock and reduce by half.
• Just before serving, increase heat to medium-high and add the Gorgonzola. Whisk until smooth. Serve on top of filet.
