Description

Savory Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo is a luxurious, creamy pasta dish featuring tender sirloin steak, rich Alfredo sauce, and tangy Gorgonzola cheese. Served over fettuccine and topped with a balsamic glaze, this elegant dish is perfect for special occasions or a restaurant-quality meal at home.


Ingredients

For the Steak:

1 pound sirloin steak

1 tbsp olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

For the Alfredo Sauce:

2 tbsp unsalted butter

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

½ cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese

Salt and pepper, to taste

For Assembly:

8 oz fettuccine pasta

¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (optional)

Balsamic glaze, for drizzling

Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Tip: For a lighter version, swap half-and-half for the heavy cream and reduce the cheese.


Instructions

  • Marinate the Steak:

    • Season the sirloin steak with salt and pepper on both sides.

    • In a resealable bag or shallow dish, combine olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

    • Add steak and marinate for 30 minutes to 4 hours in the refrigerator.

  • Cook the Pasta:

    • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

    • Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.

  • Prepare the Steak:

    • Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry.

    • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare.

    • Let the steak rest for 5 minutes, then slice it thinly against the grain.

  • Make the Alfredo Sauce:

    • In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.

    • Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

    • Stir in heavy cream and bring to a simmer, cooking for 2-3 minutes to thicken.

    • Add Parmesan and Gorgonzola cheese, stirring until smooth.

    • Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  • Combine and Serve:

    • Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce.

    • If desired, fold in chopped sun-dried tomatoes.

    • Divide the pasta among plates and top with sliced steak.

    • Drizzle with balsamic glaze and garnish with fresh parsley


Notes

Cheese Alternatives: If Gorgonzola is too strong, use blue cheese or omit for a milder flavor.

Vegetarian Option: Replace steak with grilled portobello mushrooms or roasted vegetables.

Spicy Option: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for extra heat.
