Ingredients

  • 50g Gorgonzola dolce
  • 50g unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 little gem lettuces, quartered lengthways
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 British Beef Fillet Steaks (about 180g each)

Method

  1. Put the Gorgonzola, butter and mustard in a bowl and mash with a fork until well combined; set aside. In a large bowl, toss the little gem quarters in 1 tbsp oil and arrange on a baking tray, cut-side up. Take ½ the Gorgonzola butter and divide it between the lettuce quarters; season and set aside. Preheat the grill to high.

  2. Season the steaks. Put the remaining 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan and set over a medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until cooked to your liking. Allow the steaks to form a crust and brown before turning them, otherwise they will stick, and ensure all surfaces are thoroughly browned. Transfer to a warm plate. Stir the remaining Gorgonzola butter into the pan until melted, then spoon over the steaks and allow to rest for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, grill the lettuce for 4-6 minutes until charred and slightly softened (keep a close eye as it can burn quickly). Arrange the steaks and little gem on plates, then spoon over the melted butter and resting juices to serve.

And to drink...

A smooth Cabernet Merlot will match the Gorgonzola and the beef. Reyneke Organic Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot, South Africa is full of black cherry notes with ripe tannins.
