Great for Summer (or anytime) cookouts and dinners because it's really easy to do. You can make more of the butter (just double or triple the recipe) and freeze the unused portion in parchment paper.
If you want, you can finely chop the ingredients and fold it in with the butter rather than using a food processor:
Grilled Beef Tenderloin with Spicy Gorgonzola-Pinenut-Herb Butter
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients:
4 lbs. Beef Tenderloin, cut into 8 oz. portions
Kosher Salt
Fresh Cracked Pepper
1/2 c. Unsalted Butter, softened to room temp.
1/2 c. Gorgonzola (or Bleu) Cheese
3 Tbsp. Fresh Thyme
2 Tbsp. Fresh Rosemary
2 Tbsp. Fresh Italian Parsley
1 tsp. Crushed Red Chili Flakes
2 cloves Fresh Garlic, crushed
4 Tbsp. Pinenuts
Method:
In a food processor, combine all of the ingredients from the unsalted butter, down. Pulse until everything is incorporated, then transfer to the refrigerator to let the butter harden.
Prepare grill to medium-high. Season both sides of the steaks with kosher salt and pepper, and grill to desired doneness. Remove steaks from the grill, and place 2 Tbsp. of the butter over each steak to melt. Serve immediately.
