Ingredients

For the beef:

4 lbs. Beef Tenderloin, cut into 8 oz. portions

Kosher Salt

Fresh Cracked Pepper

Olive Oil for Frying

For the butter:

1/2 c. Unsalted Butter, softened to room temp.

1/2 c. Gorgonzola (or Bleu) Cheese

3 Tbsp. Fresh Thyme

2 Tbsp. Fresh Rosemary

2 Tbsp. Fresh Italian Parsley

1 tsp. Crushed Red Chili Flakes

2 cloves Fresh Garlic, crushed

4 Tbsp. Pinenuts

Directions

In a food processor, combine all of the ingredients from the unsalted butter, down. Pulse until everything is incorporated, then transfer to the refrigerator to let the butter harden.

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Heat oil in a saute pan or heavy skillet until lightly smoking. Season both sides of the steaks with kosher salt and pepper, and sear on both sides until a nice crust forms, about 1-2 minutes. Transfer steaks to the oven and cook until desired doneness. Serve with approx. 2 Tbsp. of the butter over each steak to melt. Serve immediately.
