Olive Garden Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo

Ingredients:

For the Steak:

• 1 lb steak (sirloin or filet mignon)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

For the Alfredo Sauce:

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

For the Pasta:

• 1 lb fettuccine or pappardelle pasta

For the Gorgonzola Topping:

• 1/2 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
• 1/4 cup balsamic glaze (store-bought or homemade)
• Fresh baby spinach (optional)

Garnish:

• Fresh parsley, chopped
• Additional Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Steak:
   • Season the steak with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
   • In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook to your desired doneness (about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on the thickness of the steak).
   • Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
2. Cook the Pasta:
   • Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. Make the Alfredo Sauce:
   • In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
   • Add the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
   • Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
   • Continue to simmer the sauce, stirring frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
4. Combine the Pasta and Sauce:
   • Add the cooked pasta to the Alfredo sauce, tossing to coat the pasta evenly.
5. Assemble the Dish:
   • Divide the Alfredo-coated pasta among serving plates.
   • Top each plate with slices of the cooked steak.
   • Sprinkle crumbled Gorgonzola cheese over the steak and pasta.
   • Drizzle with balsamic glaze.
   • If using, add fresh baby spinach on top for added flavor and color.
6. Garnish and Serve:
   • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and additional crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, if desired.
   • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips:

• Steak: For best results, use a tender cut of steak like sirloin or filet mignon. Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of the steak and your preferred doneness.
• Pasta: Fettuccine or pappardelle work well with this dish, but you can use any pasta you prefer.
• Balsamic Glaze: If you don’t have balsamic glaze, you can make a quick reduction by simmering balsamic vinegar until it thickens and becomes syrupy.
• Add-Ons: You can also add sautéed mushrooms or roasted red peppers to the dish for extra flavor.
