Ingredients
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 cup heavy cream
¼ cup whole milk
4 oz Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Pinch of salt (adjust carefully)
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant — do not let it brown.
Pour in heavy cream and milk. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently.
Reduce heat to low and gradually stir in the crumbled Gorgonzola until fully melted and smooth.
Simmer for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to a creamy consistency.
Season with black pepper, a small pinch of salt, and crushed red pepper flakes if using.
Remove from heat and allow to sit 1–2 minutes to thicken slightly before serving.
Spoon generously over hot grilled steak and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
Taste before adding salt — Gorgonzola is naturally salty.
If sauce becomes too thick, whisk in a tablespoon of warm milk or cream to loosen.
For a smoother texture, use room-temperature cheese.
Delicious over filet mignon, ribeye, or even grilled chicken.
