Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Beef tenderloin steaks
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Shallots, minced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Dry white wine
- 1 cup Beef stock
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the beef tenderloin steaks on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet, cover with foil, and let them rest.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced shallots and garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Deglaze the skillet by adding the dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
Let the wine simmer for 2 minutes, then add the beef stock. Continue to simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Stir in the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese and let it melt into the sauce, creating a creamy texture.
Plate the rested steaks and spoon the Gorgonzola sauce generously over the top.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, like mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
