There’s something special about a perfectly grilled steak, but if you really want to take it over the top, a rich and creamy sauce can make all the difference. That’s where this Gorgonzola Cream Sauce comes in, it’s velvety smooth, packed with bold, tangy flavor, and ridiculously easy to make. Whether you’re grilling for a crowd at a tailgate or enjoying a backyard steak night, this sauce is a game-changer.
Gorgonzola is one of those cheeses that adds instant depth to a dish. It’s creamy, a little funky, and melts beautifully into a luscious sauce. When paired with heavy cream, garlic, and a hit of black pepper, it creates a bold contrast to the smoky richness of a grilled steak.
Making this Gorgonzola Cream Sauce is as simple as it is delicious. Start by heating the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat, whisking occasionally as it warms. Once it reaches a gentle boil, reduce the heat slightly and stir in the crumbled gorgonzola and minced garlic. Keep whisking as the cheese melts into the cream, creating a smooth, velvety consistency. The sauce will begin to thicken as it simmers, with the flavors melding together into a rich, tangy masterpiece.
You’ll know the sauce is ready when it’s thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. To check, dip a spoon into the sauce and run your finger through it. If the line holds and doesn’t immediately fill back in, it’s good to go. At this point, whisk in the black pepper for a bit of heat, then stir in the fresh parsley just before serving. Pour it over your steak while it’s hot, and get ready for a bold, creamy bite that takes your meal to the next level.
This sauce is made for steak, but don’t stop there. Try drizzling it over grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, or even a baked potato. Heck, you could even toss it with pasta for a decadent blue cheese mac and cheese.
Next time you fire up the grill, give this Gorgonzola Cream Sauce a shot. It’s simple, loaded with flavor, and guaranteed to turn a great steak into an unforgettable one. Give it a try and let me know how you use it. Tag @thatgrillerguy on social media and show off your creations!
