Cook Time: 1 hr 10 mins

Total Time: 1 hr 20 mins

Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 4 cups heavy cream
• 3 ounces crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
• 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• ¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps

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.
2. Prepare steaks: Season beef with lemon pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper; set aside to marinate.
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.
4. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grate with cooking spray.
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.
6. Serve steaks with Gorgonzola sauce and top with bacon and green onion.
