Ingredients

3 cups (710ml) heavy cream
3 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
¾ cup Gorgonzola
¼ cup Parmigiano Reggiano, grated
2 Tbsp finely chopped parsley
1½ tsp Dijon mustard
½ tsp Kosher salt
¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Place the heavy cream and smashed garlic cloves in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Let it cook until the cream thickens, about 10–15 minutes. Watch carefully as the cream may bubble up. Remove the garlic with a slotted spoon and discard.
Step 2: Add the Gorgonzola, grated Parmigiano Reggiano, chopped parsley, Dijon mustard, Kosher salt, and black pepper to the thickened cream. Stir gently until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes creamy and smooth.

Tips & Variations

Use a heavy-bottomed pan to prevent the cream from scorching while simmering.
Swap parsley for chives or basil for a different herb note.
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the spices.
If you prefer a milder cheese flavor, reduce the Gorgonzola slightly or use blue cheese instead.

Storage

Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent separation. You may need to add a splash of cream or milk to restore its smooth texture.

How to Serve

A black cast iron pan holds five pieces of cooked steak, each with a dark brown, slightly crispy outer layer sprinkled with small green herb bits. The steaks rest in a creamy white sauce that fills the pan's base, showing a thick and smooth texture with flecks of green herbs mixed throughout. The pan sits on a white marbled surface with soft gray and light brown spots. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
