Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/2 pound fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
1 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese (about 4 ounces)
2 teaspoons minced canned chipotle chiles* (from canned chipotles in adobo)
8 (6-ounce) filet mignon steaks
*Dried, smoked jalapeos canned in a spicy tomato sauce called adobo; sold at some supermarkets and at specialty foods stores and Latin markets.

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add shiitake mushrooms and sauté until soft, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and stir 1 minute. Add whipping cream and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer sauce until thickened, about 4 minutes. Stir in Gorgonzola cheese and chipotles. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD Sauce can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.
  • Sprinkle steaks with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in another heavy large skillet. Cook steaks in skillet until brown on both sides and cooked to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Rewarm sauce. Transfer 1 steak to each of 8 plates. Pour sauce over steaks and serve.

This dish was both flavorful and impressive. The Gorgonzola sauce was creamy and tangy, and it paired perfectly with the tender filet mignon. I served it with roasted asparagus and mashed potatoes, and it was a meal that everyone enjoyed.
