Gorgonzola Sauce Recipe
SERIOUSLY good blue cheese sauce for steak! Use gorgonzola or blue cheese in this absolutely perfect, totally foolproof, restaurant-style gorgonzola sauce.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 ⅕ pounds steak of choice, cooked and rested
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- 1 clove garlic
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 ounces gorgonzola cheese broken into chunks
Instructions
- Add the cream, salt, and pepper to a small saucepan. Use a zester to grate the garlic directly into the cream (or finely mince if you don't have a zester).
- Turn the heat to medium-low and allow the cream mixture to come to a simmer. Whisking every few minutes, simmer the cream until it has reduced by about ⅓ and thickened.
- Stir in the gorgonzola, whisking to fully melt the cheese into a very smooth sauce. Taste, and add a few more pinches of salt if needed.
- Serve drizzled over steak or your favorite protein. YUM.
Notes
Steak: I love a cast iron skillet steak method for this recipe. Make the steak any way you like, and start the sauce as soon as the steak is removed from the heat to rest.
Cheese: Feel free to sub blue cheese OR gorgonzola in this recipe - both work really well.
Pepper: This is a fairly peppery sauce. Feel free to reduce the pepper or omit it altogether if you don't enjoy the flavor.
Make Ahead: This steak sauce is best served immediately. If the sauce gets ready before the rest of the meal, turn the heat off and re-heat over low heat, whisking really well, right before serving. If the sauce gets too thick, splash in more cream 1 tablespoon at a time to thin it back out.
