Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450 g) sirloin steak, cut into strips
- 12 oz (340 g) fettuccine pasta
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare fettuccine according to package directions, ensuring al dente texture. Drain and reserve.
- Season steak strips generously with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs, creating a flavorful coating.
- Sear steak in hot skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and reaching preferred doneness. Transfer to a separate plate.
- Reduce skillet heat to medium and melt butter, releasing aromatic garlic until golden and fragrant.
- Pour heavy cream into skillet, allowing gentle simmer to develop rich base for sauce.
- Gradually whisk Parmesan and Gorgonzola cheeses into cream, creating smooth, velvety texture that coats the back of a spoon.
- Fold cooked fettuccine into creamy sauce, ensuring each strand is luxuriously covered.
- Arrange seared steak strips atop pasta, creating elegant presentation.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley for vibrant color and herbaceous finish.
- Serve immediately while sauce remains warm and steak retains optimal temperature.
Notes
- Customize the meat’s doneness by using a meat thermometer for precise cooking, ensuring tender and juicy steak every time.
- Swap regular fettuccine with gluten-free pasta options to accommodate dietary restrictions without compromising flavor.
- Reserve some pasta water before draining to help create a smoother, silkier sauce if the mixture seems too thick.
- Allow gorgonzola and parmesan to reach room temperature before adding to the sauce, promoting faster and more even melting.
