A perfectly cooked, high quality steak needs no accompaniments, that’s for sure. But, that doesn’t mean it won’t taste just as amazing with a little something extra every once in awhile.
This recipe for Herbed Gorgonzola Steak Butter is inspired by a recipe that I had many years ago and loved. I was reminded of it again when eating a steak and blue cheese pasta dish at a restaurant and just had to recreate the butter.
Try topping your next steak with this butter – you will not be disappointed.
Why This Recipe Works
It’s so easy to whip up a tasty compound butter. You can make it ahead of time and even freeze it, if necessary.
While most people will enjoy something more simple like a Garlic Herb Steak Butter, some might like a little something more and Gorgonzola definitely brings the flavor.
This steak butter isn’t meant to cover up the flavor of the steak. It’s meant to enhance the flavor. It’s absolutely delicious.

Ah butter! Seriously one of my favorite things in the whole world. I LOVE herbed butter as well and gorgonzola is one of my fav additions. Seriously delicious!

I’m going to have to look for PRE filet mignon — I’d never heard of it before, but I love the uniformity and the ability to really SEE what you’re getting. I agree – good steak needs no embellishment, but a gorgonzola compound butter is the thing that takes it from good to great!
Chrissy says
Oh my gosh – I loooove a good steak with compound butter! I’ve never tried the gorgonzola herb combo before though; this just looks incredible.
