How to Make Beef Tenderloin With Gorgonzola Sauce
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the beef tenderloin dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Sear the tenderloin in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side, until nicely browned.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 45-55 minutes for medium-rare. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 130-135°F (54-57°C).
- If you prefer a more well-done tenderloin, continue roasting in 10-minute increments, checking the internal temperature with a meat thermometer after each increment. The ideal internal temperature for medium is 140-145°F (60-63°C), and well-done is 160°F (71°C) or higher.
- Remove the tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- While the tenderloin rests, prepare the Gorgonzola sauce. In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup of finely chopped shallots and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of dry white wine and bring to a simmer. Cook until the wine has reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in 4 ounces of crumbled Gorgonzola cheese and 1/4 cup of heavy cream. Cook until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy, stirring constantly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Slice the rested tenderloin and serve immediately, topped with the creamy Gorgonzola sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives, if desired.
