Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
- 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into strips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Optional: Red pepper flakes for added spice
Instructions
- Cook the Fettuccine:
In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside. - Prepare the Steak:
Season steak strips with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak strips and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside. - Make the Alfredo Sauce:
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in Gorgonzola and Parmesan cheeses, mixing until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. - Combine Pasta and Sauce:
Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly with the Alfredo sauce. Gently mix in the steak strips. - Serve:
Divide onto plates, garnish with chopped parsley, and sprinkle red pepper flakes if desired. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
- Cheese Substitutions: Swap Gorgonzola with blue cheese for a milder flavor, or use extra Parmesan if Gorgonzola isn’t your thing.
- Add-ins: Sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or crispy bacon would make great additions to this dish.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet with a splash of cream to keep the sauce smooth.
