Ingredients

• ¾ teaspoon salt
• ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 4 green onions, chopped
• 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 4 cups heavy cream
• cooking spray
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
• 3 ounces crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
• ¼ teaspoon onion powder, or to taste
• 4 (8 ounce) fillets beef tenderloin
• 12 slices thick sliced bacon, chopped
• ¼ teaspoon lemon pepper, or to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Make sauce: Pour heavy cream into a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer until cream is reduced by half, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour. Remove from heat; whisk in Gorgonzola cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until cheeses have melted. Cover to keep warm and set aside.

Step 2

Prepare steaks: Season beef with lemon pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper; set aside to marinate.

Step 3

Meanwhile, place bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 4

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grate with cooking spray.

Step 5

Cook steaks on the preheated grill until they begin to firm up and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 3 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to a plate; tent with foil to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 6

Serve steaks with Gorgonzola sauce and top with bacon and green onion.
