Steak with Gorgonzola & Crab Sauce

Steak with Gorgonzola & Crab Sauce


This sauce is so decadent!!! Butter, shallots, cream, Gorgonzola cheese and crab meat over a nice, thick juicy steak. It was AMAZING!!! 
Start out by cooking your steak the way you like, I normally like to grill mine, but since we were out of charcoal, we decided to sear the steaks in a hot cast iron skillet for 2 1/2 minutes on each side, then place in a pre-heated oven at 450 degrees. Now, I like my steak medium, so it took about 7 minutes on each side in the oven. It also depends on how thick your steaks are. Mine were about 1 1/2 inches thick. But I really liked this cooking method. I rubbed a little safflower oil on each side and sprinkled Montreal Steak Seasoning. 
While the steaks are cooking, start the Gorgonzola & crab sauce. Start with a tablespoon of butter in a separate skillet, melt it and then add chopped shallots. Saute shallots until they were tender, then add 1 cup of heavy cream.  Let that cook down a bit, then add Gorgonzola cheese, let that melt, then  added a 6 oz. can of crab meat. 
I'm telling you this sauce is so amazing! I could just eat it like soup! It was unbelievable!
