Instructions

To prepare the Beef Tenderloin with Gorgonzola, start by cooking the potatoes. Wash the potatoes thoroughly, and cut them into wedges.

In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and add the rosemary sprigs. Once the oil is heated, toss in the potato wedges, and season with salt and black pepper. Add a splash of water to the pan and cover with a lid. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook, allowing the potatoes to crisp up. Occasionally stir, ensuring they are evenly golden.

Once the potatoes are cooked and crispy, transfer them to a baking dish.

For the beef, heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil in a separate pan over medium-high heat. Season the beef tenderloin with salt and pepper, then add it to the pan. Sear the beef for about 2 minutes per side for rare doneness. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the steaks and your preferred level of doneness.

While the beef is still in the pan, place small cubes of Gorgonzola on top of the fillets. Immediately cover the pan with a lid, allowing the cheese to melt over the beef. This should take just a couple of minutes.

Once the Beef Tenderloin with Gorgonzola is ready, serve it hot with the crispy potatoes on the side. The rich and creamy Gorgonzola will perfectly complement the tender beef, creating a truly indulgent dish. Enjoy!
