A rich and creamy fettuccine Alfredo featuring savory pan-seared steak and the distinctive tang of Gorgonzola cheese. This dish offers a luxurious dining experience at home.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 8 oz each)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 12 oz fettuccine pasta
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add steaks and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if preferred. Remove steaks and let them rest.
- While the steak rests, cook fettuccine in salted boiling water according to package directions until al dente. Drain pasta.
- Reduce skillet heat to medium. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Whisk in grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens and is smooth.
- Stir in crumbled Gorgonzola cheese until melted. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
- Toss the cooked fettuccine into the skillet with the sauce, coating evenly.
- Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain.
- Arrange steak slices on top of the creamy pasta.
- Garnish with additional Gorgonzola, black pepper, and chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
- For medium-rare steak, aim for an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C).
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of cream or milk if the sauce is too thick.
- Reheat steak separately if possible to maintain its texture.
- The dish can be frozen for up to one month, but is best when fresh.
