The gravy is creamy and thick, without the use of any carbohydrates from flour or cornstarch. Gorgonzola cheese is very similar to blue cheese, but with a richer flavor and is more creamy. You’ll enjoy every last bite of this decadent meal.
How to Make It
Step 1
On a flat, clean surface, rub down your steak with the salt, pepper, and olive oil. Place the steak in a ziploc bag to marinate. At least 6 hours for marinating is best, but you can marinate for as little as 1 hour.
Step 2
After marinating, heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Place in the steak with any additional juice. Cook the steak to your preferred level of doneness. For a medium rare steak, cook 4-5 minutes per side.
Step 3
Transfer the steak to a clean surface to rest. Leave the skillet on the heat, and place in the bacon. Cook the bacon until both strips are crispy. Then, transfer the bacon strips on top of the steak. Leave any juices in the pan.
Step 4
To make the gravy, turn the skillet to a low heat. Melt the butter in the skillet to de-glaze it. Then, whisk in the heavy cream. Cook on low until all the fats have combined.
Step 5
Gently stir in the beef broth, pepper, bay leaf, and garlic powder. Let the gravy gently simmer for a few minutes, so the fat to liquid ratio adjusts and the gravy reduces slightly.
Step 6
Remove the bay leaf. Chop the first amount of gorgonzola cheese, and stir it into the gravy. Cook the gravy until it thickens properly. Then, remove it from the heat and plate your steak and gravy together.
Step 7
Top off your steak with additional crumbled gorgonzola cheese and enjoy!
