This is the recipe for the sauce that we served with reverse-seared beef tenderloin at the 2023 Chain of Lakes Eggfest. We won 1st place there and this sauce was definitely one of the reasons that we did so well. A lot of folks asked for this recipe so here it is.
About Gorgonzola Sauce
This sauce is rich in texture and flavor. Loaded with heavy cream, the sauce is like velvet. It has the flavor trifecta with gorgonzola cheese, green peppercorn, and roasted garlic. It is excellent on:
- Beef roasts, such as beef tenderloin or rib roasts,
- Steaks, including ribeye, porterhouse, strip and filet, and
- Big juicy burgers!
Green Peppercorns
Green peppercorns are just black peppercorns that aren't sun-dried.
- Green peppercorns have a fragrant aroma and have a more fruity flavor.
- Green peppercorns have less heat and are less astringent in flavor than black peppercorns.
- Green peppercorns are more tender, so I crush mine in a mortar and pestle to get rustic, coarse bits for my sauce.
- Substitute - If you can't find green peppercorns (I mail order ours), you can probably find those little pepper grinders full of tri-color pepper in any grocery store. Coarsely ground tri-color pepper will work, just dial back the quantity to about 1 teaspoon.
Here's the recipe.
