Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound (1 lb) sirloin steak, thinly sliced
Pasta and Seasonings:
- 8 ounces (8 oz) fettuccine pasta
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Dairy and Sauce Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
Aromatics and Cooking Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Garnish:
- Fresh parsley
Instructions
- Liberally season thinly sliced sirloin with salt and pepper, ensuring both sides receive an even coating.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to rolling boil and cook fettuccine until perfectly al dente, approximately 8-9 minutes. Drain pasta and reserve.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high temperature until shimmering. Carefully place seasoned steak slices into hot pan, searing each side until golden brown and caramelized, roughly 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer steak to separate plate.
- Reduce skillet heat to medium and introduce minced garlic, stirring rapidly to prevent burning. Cook until aromatic and translucent, about 45-60 seconds.
- Pour heavy cream into skillet, allowing it to reach a gentle simmer. Gradually whisk in Parmesan cheese, creating a silky smooth consistency. Incorporate crumbled Gorgonzola, stirring continuously until fully melted and integrated into sauce.
- Reintroduce seared steak slices into creamy sauce, gently tossing to ensure complete coverage and reheat meat.
- Add cooked fettuccine directly into skillet, using tongs to thoroughly coat pasta with rich, velvety sauce. Distribute steak evenly throughout dish.
- Finish by sprinkling freshly chopped parsley across surface. Serve immediately while sauce remains warm and vibrant.
Notes
- Customize the Steak’s Doneness by adjusting cooking time, using a meat thermometer to achieve your preferred level from rare to well-done.
- Swap Sirloin with alternative cuts like flank or ribeye for different flavor profiles and textures, ensuring even slicing for consistent cooking.
- Reduce Sauce Richness by substituting half-and-half or whole milk for heavy cream, creating a lighter version without compromising creamy texture.
- Accommodate Vegetarian Diets by replacing steak with grilled portobello mushrooms or plant-based protein strips, maintaining the robust sauce’s essence.
