Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Seasoning
- 1 pound steak (sirloin, ribeye, or filet), seasoned with salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Pasta and Garnish
- 8 oz fettuccine or pasta of choice
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
- Extra crumbled Gorgonzola for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine according to package directions until al dente. Drain the pasta well and set aside.
- Sear Steak: While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned steak and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness and desired doneness. Once cooked, remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing thinly.
- Prepare Alfredo Sauce: Reduce the skillet heat to medium and melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.
- Add Cheeses and Season: Stir in the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese and grated Parmesan until melted and the sauce is smooth. Season the sauce with black pepper to taste.
- Toss Pasta with Sauce: Add the cooked pasta directly into the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Toss well to ensure all the pasta strands are evenly coated with the creamy cheese sauce.
- Plate and Garnish: Serve the coated pasta on plates, then top with the thinly sliced steak. Garnish with chopped parsley and extra crumbled Gorgonzola cheese if desired. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- For extra flavor, drizzle with balsamic glaze just before serving to add a hint of sweetness and acidity.
- Add a handful of sautéed spinach for a nutritious and colorful addition to the dish.
- This meal pairs excellently with a crisp green salad or roasted seasonal vegetables for a balanced dinner.
