Steak Gorgonzola

Jump to recipe

This bold, smoky, and cheesy steak is a must-try! Whether you're team medium-rare or going full reverse sear, this method guarantees juicy, flavorful results every time.

🔥 Pro Tips for the Best Steak:

  • Reverse Sear Option: Start cooking indirectly until the steak is 10-15°F below your target temp, then sear over high heat for a perfect crust.
  • Charcoal for Maximum Flavor: Char-Griller Lump Charcoal burns hotter and cleaner than briquettes, giving your steak pure smoky goodness without any fillers.
  • Crispy Crust Hack: For an extra seared crust, pat the steak dry before seasoning and avoid flipping too soon—let the heat do the work!

Why the Char-Griller 22” Kettle Grill & Lump Charcoal?

The Char-Griller 22” Kettle Grill delivers unmatched airflow control, excellent heat retention, and versatile grilling options—making it perfect for steakhouse-level searing. Paired with Char-Griller Lump Charcoal, which burns hotter and longer, it gives the steak a rich, smoky depth of flavor that gas just can’t match.

Simple. Bold. Delicious. 🔥

  9. 09

    When the steaks are 5°F away from your target temp, top with crumbled Gorgonzola and let it melt.
