Tangy Gorgonzola cheese and wine sauce top a perfect steak.

Prep: 7-10 minutes
Cook: 20 minutes
Servings: Serves 4

4 beef tenderloin steaks, cut 1-inch thick (4-6 ounces each)

1 large clove garlic, crushed

1/4 tsp. coarse ground black pepper

1/2 cup beef broth

1/4 cup dry red wine

1/4 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese

	Heat a large nonstick skillet 5 minutes over medium heat until hot. Combine garlic and pepper. Press evenly into both sides of each steak.
	Place steaks in skillet and cook for 10-13 minutes for medium-rare to medium doneness, turning occasionally. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
	In same skillet, add broth and wine. Increase heat to medium-high. Cook while stirring up browned bits from skillet for 1-2 minutes or until sauce is reduced by half.

You may substitute other cheese such as blue (bleu) cheese, Roquefort or Stilton for the Gorgonzola.
