Ingredients (Quantities):
For the Steak:
- Ribeye or sirloin steak: 1 lb (thinly sliced)
- Salt: to taste
- Black pepper: to taste
- Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
For the Pasta:
- Fettuccine or pasta of choice: 12 oz
For the Alfredo Sauce:
- Unsalted butter: 4 tablespoons
- Garlic (minced): 3 cloves
- Heavy cream: 1 cup
- Gorgonzola cheese (crumbled): ½ cup
- Parmesan cheese (grated): ½ cup
- Italian seasoning: ½ teaspoon
- Salt and black pepper: to taste
- Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Optional Ingredients:
- Red pepper flakes: for heat
- Spinach or mushrooms: for added vegetables
Instructions:
1. Cook the Pasta:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
2. Cook the Steak:
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the sliced steak with salt and black pepper. Add the steak to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until browned and cooked to your liking. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
3. Make the Alfredo Sauce:
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Gorgonzola and Parmesan cheeses, mixing until smooth and creamy.
- Add Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to taste. If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta water to reach the desired consistency.
4. Combine Everything:
- Add the cooked pasta and steak to the sauce, tossing gently to coat everything evenly. If desired, stir in spinach or sautéed mushrooms at this stage.
5. Serve:
- Serve the Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo hot, garnished with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if using.
Tips for Success:
- Choose the right steak: Ribeye or sirloin works best for this dish due to their flavor and tenderness.
- Don’t overcook the steak: Thin slices cook quickly; aim for medium-rare to medium for the best texture.
- Customize the sauce: Adjust the amount of Gorgonzola cheese according to your taste preference; add more for a stronger flavor.
Recommendations:
- Pair this dish with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat gently on the stove.
