Ingredients

Steak

  • 1 lb sirloin steak
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Pasta and Sauce

  • 8 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Optional: additional Gorgonzola for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season the Steak: Season the sirloin steak generously with salt and pepper on both sides to enhance the flavor of the meat.
  2. Cook the Steak: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness, or longer depending on your preferred level of doneness.
  3. Rest and Slice the Steak: Remove the steak from the skillet and cover it with foil. Let it rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute, then slice it into thin strips.
  4. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.
  5. Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet used for the steak, reduce the heat to medium and add minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer.
  6. Add Cheeses: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and crumbled Gorgonzola cheese until both are fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  7. Toss Pasta with Sauce: Add the cooked fettuccine to the sauce in the skillet. Toss well to coat the pasta evenly with the cheese sauce.
  8. Assemble and Garnish: Place the sliced steak on top of the coated pasta. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and additional Gorgonzola cheese if desired.
  9. Serve: Serve immediately while hot and enjoy this rich and delicious Olive Garden-inspired meal!

Notes

  • Resting the steak ensures it remains juicy and tender when sliced.
  • Adjust the cooking time of the steak based on your preferred doneness.
  • You can swap out sirloin with ribeye or filet mignon for a different steak flavor.
  • Use freshly grated cheeses for the best melting and flavor.
  • If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of pasta water to thin it out slightly.
  • Garnish with extra parsley or cracked black pepper for additional freshness and spice.
