A delightful treat! Certainly not an everyday necessity, and one of us who doesn't care for sharp flavors didn't like the blue cheese either; but most of us loved it. (We used common American blue cheese in place of Gorgonzola.) An elegant touch, and an adventure since we had never seen anything like this on steak before. Added footnote: This ROCKS on a slice of toasted dark rye bread. Made for PAC April 2008.
