Note

Serve with Fresh Horseradish Mashed Potatoes for a classic pairing.

You can substitute Gorgonzola with any fine blue vein cheese of your choice, such as Roquefort or Stilton.

Ensure the cheese and butter are at room temperature before adding them to the sauce to ensure a smooth consistency.

Do not overcook the lamb; aim for medium-rare for the best texture and flavor.
