Amber Beer–Braised Steaks with Leeks and Gorgonzola Crumbles
This sounds super-fancy for just five ingredients, right? The sweet flavor of the beer is excellent when partnered with the sweet leeks and tangy Gorgonzola cheese (although any blue-veined cheese will work).
Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
4 pieces lean steaks (about 5 ounces each)
-
2 unitss leeks, rinsed well and chopped (white and light green parts only)
-
1 cup amber beer
-
1/2 cup reduced-sodium beef broth
-
1/2 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season both sides of the steaks with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Add the steaks to the hot pan and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until just browned.
- Remove the steaks from the pan.
- Add the leeks to the same pan over medium-high heat.
- Sauté for 3 to 5 minutes, until the leeks are tender and golden brown. Add the beer and broth and bring to a simmer.
- Return the steaks to the pan and simmer for 5 minutes, until the steaks are medium.
- Transfer the steaks and sauce to a serving platter and top with the Gorgonzola cheese.
