Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 Ribeye or Sirloin Steak (about 8 oz)

Cheese & Dairy

  • 4 oz Gorgonzola Cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream

Pasta

  • 8 oz Fettuccine or Tagliatelle Pasta

Produce & Herbs

  • 2 Garlic Cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped

Oils & Seasonings

  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black Pepper, freshly cracked, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Steak: Season your chosen steak generously with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the steak for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium rare, depending on thickness. Remove from pan and let rest while you prepare the sauce and pasta; this helps retain the juices.
  2. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook your pasta until al dente, following package instructions. Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining to help adjust the sauce consistency later.
  3. Make the Gorgonzola Sauce: In the same pan used for the steak, reduce heat to medium and add a little more olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté gently until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a simmer, then crumble in the Gorgonzola cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese melts smoothly, creating a rich, creamy sauce. Use reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce if needed.
  4. Combine and Serve: Add the cooked pasta directly to the sauce and toss to coat every piece evenly. Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain and arrange on top or mix into the pasta. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and a fresh crack of black pepper before serving.

Notes

  • Rest Your Steak: Allowing the steak to rest keeps it juicy and tender.
  • Use Reserved Pasta Water: Pasta water’s starch helps thicken the sauce without making it too heavy.
  • Balance Strong Flavors: Don’t overpower the cheese with too many seasonings; let Gorgonzola shine.
  • Slice Steak Thinly: Thin slices blend better with pasta and create a balanced bite.
  • Cook Pasta Just Right: Al dente texture gives the best mouthfeel and holds sauce beautifully.
