Gorgonzola Steak and Potato Rosti

I made these two a few weeks ago. The potatoes are so yummy and soft and the steak is probably the best I have ever had. Ever since I made the steak Chris has been asking for it. It is literally that good!

I start with the potatoes since they obviously take a lot longer to cook. Peel and cube 3 medium potatoes.



Throw all the potatoes in a bowl and mix with oil, salt, pepper, parsley and Parmesan. Mix well so that all the potatoes are covered.



The recipe says to bake at 325 but I turn my oven to 350. Stick potatoes in a bread pan if you have one. It works fantastic!! Otherwise use a roasting pan. Bake for 40 minutes and BAM you have some fantastic potatoes that are perfect for a side dish.


Now on to the most amazing steak ever!!

Start by spooning Worcestershire sauce over both sides of the steaks and let them stand for 5 minutes. Sprinkle garlic and pepper over the steaks.


Place steaks on a broiler pan. Now here is where I differ from what the recipe says. Its states to broil for 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Now....maybe the person who made this recipe and I have a different idea of what medium rare is but 3 to 4 minutes and my steak was still moving and mooing. So we broiled our for 5 to 6 minutes and its about perfect! Pull the steaks out and sprinkle the crumbled Gorgonzola over the steaks and return to the oven for 2 minutes until the cheese is golden brown.



Now you have the secret to happiness in steak form AND fantastic potatoes! My work here is done! I know you will love these recipes as much as we do!! Enjoy! See below for recipes.

3 medium potatoes peeled and cubed

1 tablespoon oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

Put the potatoes in a roasting pan. Mix the oil to coat all the potatoes. Mix all the rest of the dry ingredients together and then spread over the oiled potatoes. Mix well so that all the potatoes are coated in the dry mixture. Roast at 325 for 40 minutes or until they are cooked through.



Gorgonzola Steak

Broil 3 to 4 inches from heat source, 3 to 4 minutes per side, for medium-rare steak. Remove pan from broiler. Sprinkle thyme, then cheese over steaks.
