Tournedos Balsamico with Rosemary & Gorgonzola Dolce

4 thick beef tenderloin filets, about 10 ounces each 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil 6 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary, plus sprigs for garnish 4 ounces creamy gorgonzola cheese, cut into 4 slices

Place the filets in a shallow baking dish. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the oil and 2 tablespoons of the vinegar over the beef. Rub the rosemary into the meat. Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan until very hot. Add the filets; cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Transfer to a platter and let rest 5 minutes. Cook the remaining 4 tablespoons vinegar in a small skillet over high heat until reduced by half. Drizzle the steaks with the reduced vinegar; top with a thin slice of cheese. Garnish with rosemary sprigs. Serves 4
