- 2 tbsp olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
- 2 tbsp fresh herbs (rosemary or thyme), finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ tsp freshly cracked pepper

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush with olive oil; bake until golden brown (8-10 minutes).
- Season beef tenderloin with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; sear the beef for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and medium-rare (135°F/57°C). Let it rest.
- In a saucepan over low heat, melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant (30 seconds). Add heavy cream and crumble in Gorgonzola until smooth.
