  • Ingredients
  • 1 baguette sliced into ½ inch rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound beef tips or sirloin steak seasoned with your favorite steak seasoning
  • 1 shallot sliced very thin
  • 4-5 large bella mushrooms thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup gorgonzola cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil. Bake for 5–7 minutes until golden and crisp. Set aside.
  2. Sear the Beef Tips or Steak
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef tips or steak in a single layer and cook for 3–6 minutes, allowing them to develop a rich brown crust. Remove from heat and set aside and allow to rest for 5 minutes. After steak has rested slice very thinly and set aside.
  4. Create the Sauce
  5. Add butter to medium heat skillet. Add the shallot and mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes stirring frequently. Add garlic and cook for additional 30 seconds or until garlic becomes fragrant. Turn heat on pan down to low. Stir in milk, heavy cream and gorgonzola cheese. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2–3 minutes until the gorgonzola cheese has melted and the sauce has slightly thickened and turned glossy. Remove from heat and add the sliced beef tips or steak back to the pan and stir well to incorporate.
