Grilled Filet Mignon with Gorgonzola Cream Sauce
Grilled Filet Mignon with Gorgonzol A mixture of bacon, onion powder, garlic powder, and a handful of other ingredients are all it takes to make this recipe so tasty. To use up the ground nutmeg you could follow this main course with the Blueberry Nutmeg Cake as a dessert. The Fourth Of July will be even more special with this recipe. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Instructions
Pour heavy cream into a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer until the cream has reduced by half, stirring occasionally, about an hour.
Remove from heat and whisk in the Gorgonzola cheese and Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg, until the cheese has melted.
Season the beef tenderloin with lemon pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes.
Drain the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
Cook the steaks until they start to firm, and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 3 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C).
Remove the steaks from the grill and tent with foil to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
Serve each steak with the Gorgonzola sauce and top with crumbled bacon and chopped green onion.
