Creamy Gorgonzola Sauce

There are two kinds of steak nights in our house. There is regular steak night and then there is Italian steak night. Italian steak night is everyone favorite. On Italian steak night the steak gets topped with heavenly gorgonzola sauce. It’s a creamy savory delicious sauce that when paired with a tender juicy steaks just makes it the best steak ever. EVER!! Seriously. Even my steak purist of a husband has converted when there is gorgonzola sauce to be made. I serve broccoli on Italian steak nights as well because we don’t waste gorgonzola sauce in this house and cheesy gorgonzola broccoli is also heavenly. I bet even your kids will eat said broccoli without a single complaint… they may even just ask for more!
 
Creamy Gorgonzola Sauce (serves 4 generous portions)
1 tablespoon of butter
1/3 cup gorgonzola
¼ cup parmesan
½ cup heavy whipping cream 
1/2 teaspoon of parsley
Salt and pepper to taste I use a dash




First melt your butter over medium heat in a large pan. Once the butter is melted add the gorgonzola and continue to move around the pan until it is fully melted. Next add the parmesan and move around until melted. You don’t need to stir per say you just want to make sure it doesn’t burn.  Next add the heavy whipping cream and stir until it is all mixed and turn down the heat to medium/ low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes or until everything is done. Add your parsley and a dash of salt and pepper and then taste test to perfect it.
*This is a recipe you might want to play around with a bit. The measurements I am giving are what I typically use but at the end I always taste it. If it is too cheesy, I add more cream, if it needs more flavor I add more cheese. Just be careful because you might find yourself tasting it to perfect it 20 times… only because it’s way to perfect and you want more and can’t wait for everything else to be done but it is just so good… so maybe just one more taste… no? that’s just me?



 Enjoy!
