Ingredients

  • Filet:
  • 2 pieces tenderloin steak,
  • each cut about ¾ to 1 inch thick
  • (approximately ¾ to 1 pound)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 generous teaspoon fresh oregano, roughly
  • chopped
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • (to taste)
  • Gorgonzola Butter:
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter,
  • room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon crumbled Gorgonzola
  • Pinch freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

  1. Griddler® Compact position: Closed
    Plate side: Grill
  2. 1. Place steaks in a shallow dish and toss well with
    olive oil, garlic and oregano; cover and refrigerate.
    The steaks should marinate at least 4 hours and
    up to overnight.
    2. While steaks are marinating, prepare the
    Gorgonzola Butter. Mix the butter, Gorgonzola
    and pepper together well, using a food processor
    or by hand, mashing together with a fork. Place
    butter in a small dish to refrigerate.
    3. Remove steaks from refrigerator about 30 to 45
    minutes before grilling to bring slightly to room
    temperature. Insert the plates on the grill side.
    Preheat the Griddler® Compact to High.
    4. Sprinkle the steaks well on each side with salt
    and pepper.
    5. Once grill has preheated, place steaks on
    bottom grill plate and close. Grill for 8 to 9
    minutes for medium rare. Allow steaks to rest
    for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
    As they are resting, place a large pat of
    Gorgonzola Butter on each steak.
    6. Serve immediately
