Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Fettuccine pasta
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- 1 lb Sirloin steak
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 cup Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 3 cups Fresh spinach
- 0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tbsp Parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the sirloin steak with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to your preferred doneness. Remove from the heat, rest for 5 minutes, and slice thinly against the grain.
In a saucepan over medium heat, add balsamic vinegar and honey. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook until the mixture reduces by half and becomes syrupy. Set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream, stirring frequently. Once the cream is heated through, gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the Alfredo sauce is smooth and creamy. Add red pepper flakes if desired.
Stir in the cooked fettuccine pasta to coat it with the Alfredo sauce evenly. Add the fresh spinach and toss until it wilts.
Top the pasta with the sliced steak, then sprinkle with the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese. Drizzle the reduced balsamic over the top.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately for a restaurant-quality meal at home.
