Directions
- 1
Cut the beef into strips or bite-sized cubes. Season well with minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
- 2
Mash together the butter and gorgonzola with a fork until you get a smooth, creamy paste. Set aside.
- 3
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Sear the beef pieces for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to a serving dish and keep warm.
- 4
In the same hot pan, add the gorgonzola butter paste. Melt over medium heat, stirring gently, until it starts to bubble.
- 5
Pour in the heavy cream, sprinkle with oregano, and stir to combine. Simmer on low heat for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- 6
Spoon the sauce generously over the beef and serve immediately alongside steamed rice, toasted bread, or crispy potato sticks.
💡 Chef's Tip
Use an aged or sharp gorgonzola for a bolder sauce. For a lighter version, swap half the cream for beef broth and finish with a splash of white wine.
