🔪 HOW DO YOU MAKE STEAK GORGONZOLA RECIPE STEP BY STEP?
Now that you have everything ready, let’s move on to cooking. I’ve broken the steps down so it’s easy to follow.
1. Prepare the Steak
First, rub the steak medallions with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Next, heat a skillet (or grill) to medium-high. Cook the steak for 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, but adjust based on your preferred doneness.
Once done, remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes. This step is essential because it keeps all those tasty juices inside the meat.
2. Make the Gorgonzola Sauce
While the steak rests, start on the sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. After that, add the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer.
Then, crumble in the gorgonzola cheese and stir until smooth. You can add a pinch of nutmeg here for extra depth. Lower the heat and keep it warm until you’re ready to serve.
3. Prepare the Balsamic Glaze
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and honey. Stir constantly and cook over medium heat until it reduces to a syrupy consistency (about 10 minutes). Be sure to keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn.
4. Assemble the Dish
Finally, it’s time to plate everything. Arrange your steak medallions on a plate and drizzle the warm gorgonzola sauce over the top. Afterward, add a drizzle of balsamic glaze for that extra WOW factor.
For a finishing touch, sprinkle with parsley or pine nuts if you’re feeling fancy.

🕒 WHAT ARE SOME TIME-SAVING TIPS?
To save time, you can use a store-bought balsamic glaze instead of making your own. Also, if you want to avoid a mess, try lining your skillet with foil for easier cleanup. Additionally, buying pre-sliced steak medallions at the butcher counter can give you a head start.
