| unsalted butter | 1/4 cup | |
| shallot | 1 | peeled & sliced thin |
| garlic clove | 2 | peeled & sliced thin |
| tawny port | 1 cup | |
| dried cranberries | 1/4 cup | |
| Steaks | ||
| tenderloin | 3/4 lb | cut into 6 oz filets |
| salt | 1 tsp | to taste |

| vegetable oil | 2 Tbsps | |

Directions
- Heat a saucepan over medium heat and melt the butter.
- Add the shallot and garlic clove. Sauté until translucent.
- Add the beef broth, tawny port, and dried cranberries. Bring to a boil and cook until the sauce reduces by 1/2 or 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside.
- Season the tenderloin steaks with salt and pepper.
- Pre-heat your oven to 450 degrees. Heat the vegetable oil over high heat in an oven proof skillet or cast iron skillet.
- Sear each side of the tenderloin steaks for about 2 minutes. Place the entire skillet into the oven and bake for 10 minutes. The steaks will be medium rare. Remove the tenderloin steaks from the skillet and allow them to rest for 2 minutes.
- Heat the skillet over medium heat and deglaze with the remaining beef broth. Scrape up all the bits and piece left from the tenderloin steaks. Add the sauce, bring to a boil, and cook for 1 additional minute.
- Spoon the sauce over the steaks and top with the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese.
Notes
Have your butcher cut the tenderloin into 6 inch steaks.
