Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo with Creamy Parmesan Sauce

Instructions

1. Prepare the Steak

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

2. Make the Pasta

• Cook the Pasta: While the steak cooks, boil salted water. Cook fettuccine according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

3. Prepare the Alfredo Sauce

• Melt Butter and Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
• Add Cream: Pour in heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer.
• Add Cheese and Seasonings: Stir in Parmesan, Gorgonzola, and Italian seasoning. Stir until cheeses melt and sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.

4. Combine and Finish

• Add Pasta to Sauce: Add cooked fettuccine to the skillet. Toss until coated.
• Return the Steak: Place rested steak medallions on top of the pasta to warm slightly.

5. Garnish and Serve

• Garnish: Serve immediately, garnished with spinach, extra Gorgonzola, and parsley (optional).

Cooking Notes

• Steak Doneness: For medium-rare, cook to 135°F (57°C). Let rest before slicing.
• Avoid Boiling the Sauce: Gently simmer to prevent separation.
• Fresh Parmesan: Use freshly grated Parmesan for best flavor.

Variations

• Vegetable Addition: Add sautéed mushrooms or roasted red peppers.
• Creamy Spinach: Stir in spinach before adding pasta.
• Blue Cheese Substitute: Substitute Gorgonzola with another blue cheese or omit.
