Steak With Gorgonzola Sauce image

Recipe from the Cucina Rustica in Sedona Arizona! The sauce can be made 2 hours ahead of the steaks, let stand at room temperature & rewarm when the steaks are ready. If you don't like heat, leave out the peppers. These directions are for pan fried steaks BUT ..... there's always the BBQ!
