Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo with Creamy Parmesan Sauce

Instructions

1. Prepare the Steak

• Pat steak medallions dry. Mix salt, pepper, thyme, and garlic powder; rub onto both sides of each steak.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak for 3-4 minutes per side, to your desired doneness (medium-rare recommended). Remove and rest, loosely covered with foil.

2. Cook the Pasta

• While steak cooks, boil salted water. Cook fettuccine al dente; drain and set aside.

3. Make the Alfredo Sauce

• Melt butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
• Pour in heavy cream; bring to a gentle simmer.
• Stir in Parmesan, Gorgonzola, and Italian seasoning until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

4. Combine and Finish

• Add pasta to the skillet; toss to coat.
• Place rested steak medallions on top to warm slightly.

5. Garnish and Serve

• Garnish with spinach, extra Gorgonzola, and parsley (if desired). Serve immediately.

Cooking Notes

• For medium-rare steak, cook to 135°F (57°C). Let rest before serving.
• Gently simmer the sauce; boiling can cause separation.
• Use freshly grated Parmesan for best flavor.

Variations

• Add sautéed mushrooms or roasted red peppers.
• Stir in spinach before adding pasta.
• Substitute Gorgonzola with another blue cheese or omit it.
