In Le Marche, this dish is made with a strong-flavored cheese called Ambra di Talamello, which is made in the summer and cave-aged in hay and clay until November. Imported Fontina cheese makes a fine substitute.

    I used thin cuts of steak - similar to carne asada. Also used Domenico Merlot (2005) instead of white wine. FANTASTIC. My friend told me this was the best dish I ever cooked for her! The fontina cheese with the steak is really outstanding. Thanks!
    I've cooked/tasted this recipe!
    This is a variation

      This sounds like a nice easy dish to make especially since Fontina is available in most markets.
