Ingredients (Serves 2-3)
- 2 sirloin steaks (6 oz each)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 pound fettuccine pasta
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the Steaks: Season both sides of the sirloin steaks generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your preferred doneness (135°F for medium-rare). Remove steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
- Make the Gorgonzola Alfredo Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Melt the butter, then add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Gorgonzola and Parmesan cheeses, whisking until the sauce is smooth and thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Combine and Serve: Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet, tossing to coat evenly in the creamy sauce. Divide the pasta among plates, then top with sliced steak. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately with a glass of your favorite wine or a side salad for a complete meal.
Tips for Success
- Steak Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness—135°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium, or 150°F for medium-well.
- Cheese Substitutions: If Gorgonzola is too strong for your taste, try swapping it for milder blue cheese or even cream cheese for a less intense flavor.
- Make It Quick: Prep the garlic and measure out ingredients while the pasta water boils to save time.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of cream to revive the sauce.
