- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 2 servings 1x
Ingredients
- 2 sirloin steaks
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
For the steamed spinach:
- 4 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
- Season the sirloin steaks with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Place the steaks in the skillet and cook to your preferred doneness (about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare). Transfer to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Gradually add the crumbled gorgonzola cheese to the cream, stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Steam the spinach: In a separate skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute. Add fresh spinach leaves and sauté until wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
- Slice the steaks and serve them topped with the gorgonzola sauce and a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley. Accompany the dish with a generous portion of steamed spinach.
Notes
For an extra depth of flavor, consider adding a splash of dry white wine to the gorgonzola sauce while it simmers. Allow the steaks to rest for a few minutes before slicing to ensure juiciness. Experiment with different greens for the side – sautéed broccoli or roasted asparagus are also excellent options. Serve this dish with a glass of rich red wine for a well-rounded experience. Enjoy!
