Steak with Gorgonzola sauce

Perfectly cooked steak served with creamy Gorgonzola sauce flavored with rosemary and garlic is the easy dinner recipe of your dreams.

There are few things as perfect as a steak cooked to perfection blanketed in Gorgonzola cream sauce. If you’re not a blue cheese lover, this might not be for you but even my daughter who is a blue cheese-hater loved this sauce. The garlic, rosemary and cream temper the strong Gorgonzola flavor just enough to make it palatable for those who don’t usually love the cheese.

I love adding more Gorgonzola on top as too much Gorgonzola is not a thing in my book. Served with a simple side of green beans or roasted potatoes, this recipe will quickly become a dinner favorite.

How to make Gorgonzola sauce

1. Start by softening a few cloves of crushed or minced garlic in a tablespoon of butter. Do this over medium-low heat so that the garlic doesn’t burn. Add a sprig of rosemary to infuse the sauce. Sage and thyme are also excellent partners for Gorgonzola.
2. Add cream and a squeeze of lemon juice. Allow the sauce to simmer until it covers the back of a spoon easily. Use heavy or whipping cream here as you want the sauce to thicken as it cooks without needing to add flour or starch.
3. Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese. Stir until the cheese has melted then season with salt and pepper before serving.

Ingredients

For the Gorgonzola sauce

• 2 tbsp butter
• 3 garlic cloves crushed/minced
• 1 sprig rosemary
• 1½ cups cream
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 100 g (3½oz) Gorgonzola crumbled
• salt and pepper to taste

For the steak

• 4 rib-eye steaks
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 sprigs rosemary
• 2 garlic cloves halved

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.
• Remove from the pan and allow to rest for at least 5 minutes before serving with the Gorgonzola sauce.
