BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH GORGONZOLA SAUCE
This is my mom's recipe that she's been making for special occasions for as long as I can remember. These directions will produce meat that is medium-rare in the very center of the tenderloin. If you want your meat more well done, add on 10 minutes and check it by cutting a small nick in the center of the meat - keep repeating until the meat is done to your liking.

BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH CREAMY GORGONZOLA SAUCE
Trust me. Follow my method. You won't be disappointed! Serving Beef Tenderloin, otherwise known as filet of beef or filet mignon, is an expensive dish BUT keep this in mind: there is absolutely no waste if it's trimmed properly, it's delicious, easy to make, and it will WOW your guests every time. We like our meat cooked perfectly medium rare and not a spec more! I have adjusted the cooking times for a fool proof roast every time. Instead of a whole tenderloin, this time, I bought 2, 4.5 pound cuts. I think it's easier to handle 2 smaller cuts that are the same size in diameter.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Rub the beef with a light coating of olive oil and a generous amount of salt and pepper around all sides. Do not be afraid to use salt on the outside. You need this to season the meat or it will be bland.
- Use a large sheet pan with short sides, like a cookie sheet. Place a flat rack in the sheet pan to keep the meat off the pan.
- Insert an oven proof thermometer in one end so that the tip is in the middle of the roast. Do not insert the rod from the top, as it is too hard to get it in the middle. Use a thermometer that sits on the counter with a cord. (you can find this in my favorite cooking tools link, I can't live without this)
- 4. Cook the roast for 15 minutes at 450 degrees and than lower the oven to 325 degrees. Do not open the oven at all during this time. Set the thermometer to 120 for medium rare or 125 for medium.
- Take the roast out of the oven when the thermometer reaches the desired temperature and cover with foil. Do not remove the thermometer. Let the roast sit for 15-20 minutes before slicing. You will see the thermometer will rise another 8-10 degrees. Medium Rare will rise close to 130 and more medium with register at 135 on thermometer. It's very important to let the roast rest out of the oven, it will continue to cook and allow the juices to spread back out into the meat. This is how you get the perfect cooking throughout your meat from top to bottom and from end to end.
- Gorgonzola Sauce: Bring the cream to a full boil in a medium to large sauce pan, boil rapidly until sauce thickens and stir occasionally. Take off the heat and add the rest of the ingredients until the cheeses are melted. This sauce can easily be made ahead of time and reheated.

Steps:
- Melt butter in saucepan over medium-high heat. Add remaining sauce ingredients (except fresh rosemary) and boil until sauce is reduced to 1/2 cup. This takes about 10-20 minutes. Add fresh minced rosemary and set aside.
- Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper. Grill steaks.
- Spoon sauce over steaks, top with gorgonzola.
Tips:
- To ensure the beef tenderloin cooks evenly, use a meat thermometer to check its internal temperature. It should reach 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, 145°F (63°C) for medium, or 155°F (68°C) for medium-well.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also judge the doneness of the beef tenderloin by its color. When it's medium-rare, the center will be pink and juicy. For medium, the center will be slightly pink, and for medium-well, the center will be mostly brown.
- Let the beef tenderloin rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- If you don't have port wine, you can substitute another type of red wine, such as cabernet sauvignon or merlot. You can also use beef broth or water, but the sauce will have a less complex flavor.
- If you don't have gorgonzola cheese, you can substitute another type of blue cheese, such as Roquefort or Stilton. You can also use a hard cheese, such as Parmesan or cheddar, but the sauce will have a different flavor.
Conclusion:
Beef tenderloin with cranberry port sauce and gorgonzola is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The tenderloin is cooked to perfection and the sauce is rich and flavorful. The gorgonzola cheese adds a touch of sharpness that complements the other flavors in the dish. This recipe is sure to impress your guests and will be a hit at your next dinner party.
