BEEF TENDERLOIN STEAKS WITH GORGONZOLA

Steps:

• Let meat rest 10 minutes before beginning dinner preparation.
• Place a large, flat griddle or skillet over high heat. When hot, using a pair of tongs and a folded paper towel, wipe cooking surface with oil and place steaks on hot pan. Caramelize the steaks, 2 minutes on each side. Reduce heat to moderate. Season meat with salt and pepper and cook 4 to 5 minutes longer on each side.
• Preheat broiler to high.
• Arrange steaks on baking sheet. Top each steak with 3 ounces Gorgonzola. Place baking sheet 6 inches from broiler heat just long enough to melt the cheese. Remove meat from the oven and top with slivers of fresh sage. Let meat rest 2 or 3 minutes, then serve immediately.

STEAK CARRERA WITH GORGONZOLA SAUCE

Steps:

• Rinse beef shoulder to remove any residue, pat dry with paper towels and place on a utility platter. In a small bowl, make the rub for the beef by combining Smokey Rotisserie Seasoning and Garlic Pepper. Rub the seasonings into all surfaces of the beef, cover with a sheet of plastic wrap and set aside for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours at room temperature. (The seasonings will actually begin to "cure" the meat.)
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• In an oven proof skillet heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over high heat, add onion and garlic and cook until they begin to soften. Add beef and sear it on all sides. Cover pan (with lid or foil) and transfer to oven to finish beef, bringing to an internal temperature of 115 degrees F for medium rare (about 30 minutes). Remove from oven, transfer to a utility platter, and let rest for 10 minutes. (Make the sauce as directed below while the beef is resting.)
• While the beef is in the oven, make the onion rings. Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. In another smaller bowl, whisk together oil, milk, egg and black pepper. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and combine until all dry ingredients are moistened. Heat oil to 375 degrees F in a deep-fryer. Add the onion rings to the bowl of fritter batter. Using tongs, transfer batter-coated onion rings to the deep-fryer basket, deep-fry in hot oil until golden brown and drain. Keep in a warm place.
• For the sauce: To the pan in which the beef was roasting (use an oven mitt on the hot handle), add 1 cup water and balsamic vinegar over medium high heat and whisk in instant flour. Allow to cook for about 5 minutes to "cook out" the flour. Strain into a bowl and whisk in gorgonzola cheese, allowing it to melt. Season with pepper, to taste, and salt only if needed (as the cheese will lend saltiness).
• Slice beef into steaks, and transfer to serving dish. Spoon cheese sauce over meat and top with onion rings.

STRIP STEAKS WITH GORGONZOLA CRUST

Steps:

• To prepare crumb topping, combine butter, garlic and gorgonzola in a small microwave safe bowl and microwave on high at 15 second intervals until cheese and butter are melted. Season with fresh pepper. Stir in bread crumbs and set aside.
• Coat steaks lightly with oil and season both sides with salt, pepper and rosemary.
• Grill or fry steaks for a minute or two on each side. Transfer to a cookie sheet. Spread crumb mixture on top.
• Roast in preheated 450 degrees F oven for 5 to 10 minutes or more, using a meat thermometer so that steaks are done to your liking.

MARINATED STRIP STEAKS WITH GORGONZOLA SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large glass baking dish combine the marinade ingredients. Whisk to dissolve the tomato paste. Submerge the steaks in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.
• Prepare the grill for direct cooking over high heat (450° to 550°F).
• Lift the steaks from the dish and pat dry with paper towels. Discard the marinade. Lightly brush the steaks with oil and season evenly with salt and pepper. Allow to stand at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes before grilling. Meanwhile, make the sauce.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the shallot and cook until tender, about 2 minutes, stirring often. Mix in the sour cream and cheese and cook until the sauce begins to simmer and the cheese has melted, about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat, add ¼ teaspoon pepper, and cover to keep warm.
• Brush the cooking grates clean. Grill the steaks over direct high heat, with the lid closed as much as possible, until cooked to your desired doneness, 6 to 8 minutes for medium rare, turning once or twice (if flare-ups occur, move the steaks temporarily over indirect heat). Remove from the grill and let rest for 3 to 5 minutes. Serve warm with the sauce. Garnish with chives, if desired.
