I'm not sure what went wrong. I followed the recipe exactly, but the beef was tough and the gorgonzola was bland. I'm disappointed.

This recipe was a disaster! The beef was overcooked and the gorgonzola was too strong. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I was a bit skeptical about using gorgonzola in this recipe, but I'm glad I did. It added a really nice depth of flavor to the beef. I'll definitely be making this again.

I've made this recipe a few times now, and it's always a hit! The beef is cooked perfectly, and the gorgonzola adds a creamy, flavorful touch. I highly recommend this recipe.
