An excellent butter for steak. Since I was making this for me, I cut the recipe in half and didn't add the walnuts. I loved it but DH is not a big fan of strong cheese, so he passed on it. I will store the rest in the freezer for the next time I have steak!!!

    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.
