Gorgonzola Steak With Herbs

By allie5jones

Ingredients

• Garlic, 1 clove peeled and halved
• 3 to 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil plus some, for drizzling
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 4 tenderloin steaks about 1 1/4-inch thick
• 2 scallions, whites and greens
• 8 to 10 fresh sage leaves
• A handful flat-leaf parsley
• 1 cup Gorgonzola crumbles

Preparation

Step 1

Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Rub with a clove of cut garlic. Coat the steaks lightly in extra-virgin olive oil.

Chop the scallions, whites and greens. Thinly slice the sage and finely chop the parsley. Combine the scallions and herbs with the Gorgonzola crumbles.

Heat a skillet over high heat. Add the steaks and caramelize the meat on both sides, a minute and a half per side should do it.

Turn the oven off. Top the meat with the gorgonzola and transfer the skillet to the oven. Let the meat sit in the hot oven 4 to 5 minutes. The Gorgonzola will melt down over the meat and the steaks will be tender and pale pink inside.
