Filet Mignon with Grilled Gorgonzola Cream Sauce
Ingredients List
Gorgonzola Cream Sauce:
-
4 cups heavy cream
-
3 ounces crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
-
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
-
¾ teaspoon salt
-
¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Filet Mignon Steaks:
-
4 (8 ounce) fillets beef tenderloin
-
¼ teaspoon lemon pepper, or to taste
-
¼ teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
-
¼ teaspoon onion powder, or to taste
-
salt and ground black pepper to taste
-
cooking spray
-
12 slices thick sliced bacon, chopped
-
4 green onions, chopped
Instructions
-
Prepare the sauce: In a saucepan, heat heavy cream over medium heat until it comes to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cream has reduced by half, about 1 hour. Remove from heat and whisk in Gorgonzola cheese, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until the cheeses have melted. Cover to keep warm and set aside.
-
Season the steaks: Rub the beef with a blend of lemon pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, then set aside to marinate.
-
In the meantime, cook the bacon: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, adding bacon. Stir occasionally until the bacon is evenly crispy, about 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
-
Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high and lightly grease the grate with cooking spray.
-
Grill the steaks: Place steaks on the preheated grill and cook until firm and the center is reddish-pink and juicy, about 3 to 5 minutes per side. The internal temperature for medium-rare should reach 130°F (54°C). Transfer steaks to a plate, cover with foil, and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
-
Serve the steaks with Gorgonzola sauce, then top with crispy bacon and sliced green onions.
