New York Strip with Gorgonzola Butter


Save yourself about $40 and give yourself a steakhouse-quality dinner at home...

Ingredients


2 NY Strip Steaks (or any cut you prefer)
freshly ground black pepper
salt

1 TBS butter, room temperature
2 ounces gorgonzola cheese, room temperature
3 grinds freshly ground black pepper

For the gorgonzola butter -- mash cheese, pepper and butter together until well blended. Cover and refrigerate.

Generously coat both sides of steaks with liberal amounts of black pepper and salt. Grill or pan-fry (I sauteed mine in olive oil and butter, since there was a blizzard outside... ) steaks to preferred doneness. Place a heaping tablespoon or so of gorgonzola butter on the top of each steak. I served mine with a crisp green salad and homemade bread. The sharpness of the cheese and pepper marry so beautifully with the richness of the butter and the meat itself.
