Great recipe! The gorgonzola butter is delicious and goes so well with the Rosemary. I'll definitely make this again, next time I'll turn the filets in their own juices halfway through cooking. -
Wonderful flavor with this steak. Served it Recipe #131824, Recipe #166434 and Recipe #84612 for dessert. Great birthday dinner.

This is,without a doubt, the best tenderloin recipe that my husband and I have tried. The butter is soooo good. You would do good to find this going out to dinner. Kudos to the chef. It is absolutely a favorite of mine. I followed the recipe exact.

I am a mother of two wonderful boys! We live in a small rural community in Indiana that we love. I love cooking, especially entertaining for family and friends. I collect cookbooks and found RecipeZaar by accident online looking for recipes. I was hooked immediately! I tell all of my family and friends about this awesome site. I cannot understand picky eaters or those who won't try something new??? My husband and I enjoy cooking together and trying new recipes.
