Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 lb (454 grams) sirloin steak (thinly sliced)
- 1 cup (226 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup (113 grams) crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
Pasta and Seasonings:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) fettuccine pasta
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- salt (to taste, for seasoning the steak)
- pepper (to taste, for seasoning the steak)
Cooking Liquids and Garnish:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil (for searing the steak and sautéing the garlic)
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) heavy cream
- fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
- Massage the sirloin slices with a robust blend of salt and black pepper, creating a uniform seasoning that will enhance the meat’s natural savoriness.
- Submerge fettuccine in a rolling boil of salted water, cooking until it reaches a perfect al dente texture with a slight resistance when bitten, approximately 8-10 minutes. Carefully drain and reserve.
- Heat olive oil in a spacious skillet over medium-high temperature, introducing the seasoned steak strips and searing rapidly to develop a gorgeous caramelized exterior, cooking 2-3 minutes per side for a tender, juicy result.
- Transfer the beautifully browned steak to a warm plate, preserving its succulence while preparing the sauce.
- Reduce skillet heat and introduce minced garlic, allowing it to release its aromatic essence without scorching, creating a fragrant base for the sauce.
- Stream heavy cream into the skillet, allowing it to gently simmer and create a luxurious foundation. Gradually incorporate Parmesan cheese, whisking continuously until a velvety smooth consistency emerges.
- Crumble Gorgonzola into the developing sauce, stirring until completely melted and integrated, developing a rich, complex flavor profile.
- Reintroduce the seared steak into the creamy mixture, ensuring each slice is lavishly coated with the decadent sauce.
- Carefully fold the prepared fettuccine into the skillet, gently tossing to distribute the sauce evenly and create a harmonious blend of flavors and textures.
- Finish the dish with a delicate sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley, adding a burst of color and a subtle herbaceous note. Serve immediately to capture the dish’s peak temperature and flavor intensity.
Notes
- Tenderize steak with salt and pepper for maximum flavor absorption and juicy texture.
- Perfectly cook pasta al dente to maintain ideal texture and prevent mushiness.
- Sear steak quickly over medium heat to lock in robust meaty flavors and create beautiful caramelization.
- Create a luxurious sauce by gradually melting Parmesan and Gorgonzola cheeses into heavy cream for smooth, velvety consistency.
- Balance dish by coating pasta and steak evenly with creamy sauce, ensuring every bite delivers rich, decadent taste.
