How to make Beef Tenderloin with Gorgonzola Sauce
The ingredients for this dish are simple, you will need a beef tenderloin which has been trimmed and tied by your butcher, butter, kosher salt, and pepper. For the Gorgonzola sauce, you need gorgonzola cheese, cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, a bunch of green onions or scallions, Worchester sauce, and kosher salt and pepper.
About an hour before you are ready to cook it, remove beef from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Place beef on a wire rack on a baking sheet with sides. Rub butter all over the beef and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the filet.
Bake until the meat thermometer registers 135 degrees (medium rare) which should take about 35-55 minutes depending on the size of the filet.
Remove from the oven and cover loosely with foil for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

We cooked this one on our Big Green Egg grill and it turned out perfect! Our Supper Club was impressed with this one and the sauce was amazing! This is a great dish for a holiday or when you’re trying to feed a large group.
Hi Kerri,
Thanks so much for sharing and I’m so glad you like the recipe!
What can I use for the sauce other then a good processor? Blender? Wire wisk in my KitchenAid?
Hi Elise,
I’ve never done it, but I think you should be able to make the gorgonzola sauce in your blender. I don’t think the wire whisk would be able to pulverize the green onions so you end up with a smooth sauce.
Hope this helps and Merry Christmas!
Sharon
Can the Gorgonzola sauce be made earlier in the day and brought back to room temperature?
Hi Leigh, yes it can! Hope you enjoy it!
