Instructions:
- Cook the Steak:
- Season the steak with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil. Add the steak and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust cooking time for desired doneness).
- In the last minute of cooking, add butter, minced garlic, and rosemary (if using) to the skillet. Spoon the melted butter over the steak as it finishes cooking.
- Remove the steak from the pan, cover loosely with foil, and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
- Make the Gorgonzola Alfredo Sauce:
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the heavy cream and stir, allowing it to simmer gently for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the crumbled Gorgonzola and Parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheeses melt and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using).
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare the Creamy Parmesan Sauce:
- In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and let it simmer gently for 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is thick and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm on low heat.
- Cook the Pasta:
- While the sauces are being prepared, cook the fettuccine or pasta of your choice in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Assemble the Dish:
- Slice the rested steak into thin strips.
- Toss the cooked pasta with the Gorgonzola Alfredo sauce, ensuring the pasta is fully coated.
- Plate the pasta, then arrange the sliced steak on top. Drizzle the steak with the creamy Parmesan sauce.
- Garnish with additional crumbled Gorgonzola, grated Parmesan, and fresh parsley.
