Beef Tenderloin with Gorgonzola Sauce
NibbleMeThis
Posts: 2,295
I made a practice turkey breast last weekend, I'm smoking two right now for work luncheon tomorrow, and I'll be having turkey Thursday. So last night I wanted something along the lines of COW!
I seasoned some fillets with my cajun beef rub and grilled them on the Egg.

Topped them with a Gorgonzola sauce that was an excellent addition to an already perfect steak.

Served it up with baked taters and spinach maria.

The fillet was just how I like it, barley medium rare. (I took the son's girlfriends to medium, but it pained me to do so.)

:woohoo: ooohhh, can't stop drooling! love the cheese on beef

Holy gorgonzola! I usually like my beef unadulterated,
:P but I'm thinking I could love that! Yum! -
chris,
That looks better than GREAT. One question, what is the purpose of the string that is tied around each steak? I assumed bacon but i did not notice anything. Maybe i need glasses.

I just like my fillets to have a more round shape. Just a preference. I tied them as soon as I trimmed the tenderloin.
Since it's not a roast, the effect for a "more even cooking" is negligible. Like I said, just a preference:)Knoxville, TN

Beautiful. Any chance of sharing the sauce recipe?
-
Sure, since it's not exactly mine:) I put a bit of extra cheese crumbles on the steaks before applying the cheese sauce. This is from Ina Garten's beef gorgonzola or an adaptation thereof.
Gorgonzola Sauce
Ingredients
4 cups heavy cream
3 to 4 ounces crumbly Gorgonzola (not creamy or “dolce”)
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
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.Knoxville, TN

Great pics! What kind of camera are you using, if you don't mind me asking?

It is an entry level DSLR, a Nikon D-60 using a prime 50mm lens. I shoot in manual mode because the fire seems to fool the automatic modes and I end up with whacky exposures (washed out, too dark, etc).
