Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

SAUCE
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup minced shallots (about 4 ounces)
1 cup dry red wine
3/4 cup ruby Port
1 cup canned beef broth
1 sprig fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon dried
STEAKS
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 1-inch-thick beef tenderloin steaks (about 6 to 8 ounces each)
3 tablespoons chilled and unsalted butter
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary or 1/4 teaspoon dried

Steps:

  • FOR SAUCE:
  • Melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add shallots and sauté until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in wine and Port. Boil 5 minutes. Add broth and rosemary sprig and boil until liquid is reduced to 1/3 cup, about 12 minutes. Strain sauce and set aside. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
  • FOR STEAKS:
  • Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Season steaks with salt and pepper. Add steaks to skillet and cook to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to platter. Tent with foil to keep warm.
  • Add sauce to skillet and bring to boil, scraping up any browned bits. Remove from heat. Gradually add butter, whisking just until melted. Stir in chopped rosemary. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Spoon sauce over steaks and serve.

Tips:

  • For the perfect medium-rare steak, cook the tenderloin steaks for 6-8 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the steaks.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the steaks. Otherwise, the steaks will steam instead of sear.
  • Let the steaks rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
  • For the cranberry-port sauce, be sure to use a good quality port wine. A ruby port or tawny port works well.
  • If you don't have any gorgonzola cheese on hand, you can substitute another type of blue cheese, such as Roquefort or Stilton.

Conclusion:

Tenderloin steaks with cranberry-port sauce and gorgonzola cheese is an elegant and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The tenderloin steaks are cooked to perfection and the sauce is rich and flavorful. The gorgonzola cheese adds a touch of sharpness and complexity to the dish. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
