Ingredients
Scale
Steak
- 2 8-ounce ribeye or sirloin steaks
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 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
Pasta
- 8 ounces fettuccine or tagliatelle pasta
Garnish
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Additional cheese for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Season and Sear Steak: Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the steaks for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from the pan and let rest to retain juices.
- Prepare Alfredo Sauce: Lower the heat to medium-low in the same skillet. Add butter and minced garlic, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Melt Cheeses into Sauce: Stir in the crumbled Gorgonzola and grated Parmesan cheese, whisking continuously until the cheese fully melts and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Cook Pasta: Meanwhile, cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain well and toss immediately with the prepared Gorgonzola Alfredo sauce to coat the pasta evenly.
- Serve: Slice the rested steaks thinly against the grain. Plate the creamy pasta, then arrange the sliced steak over the top. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and extra cheese if desired for added flavor and presentation.
Notes
- For extra flavor, finish the steak with a pat of herb butter just before serving.
- You can swap Gorgonzola cheese for blue cheese if preferred for a milder or sharper taste.
- Add sautéed mushrooms or spinach into the Alfredo sauce to enhance the dish with additional textures and earthiness.
- Allow the steak to rest after cooking to ensure it remains juicy and tender when sliced.
