Ingredients
Scale
pasta
- 12 oz fettuccine pasta
Steak and seasoning
- 1 lb steak (sirloin or ribeye), thinly sliced
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp butter
Garnish
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
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 well and set aside.
- Heat skillet: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil, allowing it to heat until shimmering.
- Sear the steak: Season the thinly sliced steak with salt and pepper. Add to the hot skillet and sear for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside to rest.
- Sauté garlic: In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
- Simmer cream: Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Add cheeses: Stir in the crumbled Gorgonzola and grated Parmesan until the cheeses have fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Season sauce: Taste the sauce and add salt and black pepper as needed to enhance the flavors.
- Combine pasta and steak: Add the cooked fettuccine and seared steak slices back into the skillet with the sauce. Toss gently to coat evenly and heat through for 1-2 minutes.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for a fresh burst of flavor and color. Serve the dish immediately while warm and creamy.
Notes
- Using a well-marbled steak like ribeye will add extra richness to the dish.
- Adjust the amount of Gorgonzola cheese according to your preference for blue cheese intensity.
- For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream, though the sauce will be less rich.
- Ensure the garlic does not burn to avoid bitterness in the sauce.
- This dish pairs well with a crisp green salad or steamed vegetables to balance the richness.
