Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) beef tenderloin or New York strip steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
Pasta and Cheese:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) fettuccine pasta
- 1 cup (100 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
Seasonings and Additional Ingredients:
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) heavy cream
- 1 cup (30 grams) chopped fresh spinach
Instructions
- Prepare fettuccine in boiling water until al dente, approximately 8-10 minutes. Drain and reserve.
- Generously season steak with salt and pepper. Sear in hot olive oil over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes, creating a golden-brown exterior. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest.
- In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic until aromatic, releasing its rich flavor.
- Pour heavy cream into the skillet, allowing it to gently simmer and develop a luxurious texture.
- Gradually incorporate Parmesan and Gorgonzola cheeses, stirring continuously until the sauce transforms into a smooth, velvety consistency.
- Slice the rested steak into thin, tender strips.
- Fold the cooked fettuccine, steak strips, and fresh spinach into the creamy sauce, ensuring each ingredient is evenly coated and heated thoroughly.
- Transfer to serving plates, allowing the warm sauce to cascade over the pasta and steak.
- Garnish with additional cracked black pepper or fresh herbs if desired, and serve immediately while piping hot.
Notes
- Use high-quality steak for the best flavor and tenderness, choosing cuts like ribeye or sirloin that provide rich marbling.
- Ensure pasta is cooked al dente to maintain a slight bite and prevent mushiness when mixing with the creamy sauce.
- Control heat carefully when making the Alfredo sauce to prevent cheese from separating or becoming grainy.
- Consider using gluten-free pasta for a celiac-friendly version of this dish, which works perfectly with the existing ingredients.
