Ingredients
Scale
Pasta
- 12 oz fettuccine pasta
Steak & Sauce
- 1 lb steak (sirloin or ribeye), thinly sliced
- 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
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp butter
Garnish
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Cook Pasta: Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain well and set aside to keep warm.
- Heat Oil: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to prepare for searing the steak.
- Sear Steak: Season the thinly sliced steak generously with salt and black pepper. Add the steak to the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until your desired level of doneness is reached. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, melt butter and then add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned, to infuse flavor into the sauce base.
- Simmer Cream: Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream. Bring the cream to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
- Melt Cheeses: Stir in the crumbled Gorgonzola and grated Parmesan cheeses into the simmering cream until the cheeses are fully melted and the sauce is creamy and smooth.
- Season Sauce: Taste the sauce and season with additional salt and black pepper as needed to balance 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 everything evenly and heat through.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top for a fresh pop of color and flavor. Serve immediately while hot and creamy.
Notes
- You can substitute the steak with chicken or shrimp for variation.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and melting quality.
- Adjust the cream quantity if you prefer a thicker or thinner sauce.
- To ensure steak slices cook evenly, cut them uniformly thin.
- This dish pairs well with a simple green salad or garlic bread.
