Description
This Olive Garden Steak Gorgonzola recipe brings rich, creamy flavors and tender steak to your dinner table, perfect for a special weeknight meal. It transforms simple ingredients into an impressive, hearty dish that is family-friendly.
Ingredients
- 450 g (1 lb) sirloin steak, about 1 inch thick
- 120 g (4 oz) gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- 360 ml (1.5 cups) heavy cream
- 340 g (12 oz) fettuccine pasta
- 30 g (0.25 cup) fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 medium shallot
- 2 cloves garlic
- 200 g (7 oz) roasted red peppers
- 30 g (2 tbsp) sun-dried tomatoes
- 120 ml (0.5 cup) vegetable broth
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) olive oil
- 30 g (2 tbsp) unsalted butter
- 5 g (1 tsp) smoked paprika
- 3 g (0.5 tsp) black pepper
- 5 g (1 tsp) kosher salt (plus more for pasta water)
Instructions
- Prep the Steak: Pat 450 g (1 lb) sirloin steak dry. Season with 0.5 tsp smoked paprika, 0.5 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp salt. Rest 15-20 minutes at room temperature.
- Sear the Steak: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a heavy skillet until shimmering. Sear steak 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, until a deep brown crust forms. Rest 10 minutes.
- Cook the Pasta: Boil salted water. Add 340 g (12 oz) fettuccine; cook 10-12 minutes until al dente. Reserve 0.5 cup pasta water, then drain and toss to prevent sticking.
- Build the Sauce Base: Melt 2 tbsp butter in skillet. Sauté 1 shallot 2-3 minutes until translucent, then 2 cloves garlic 1 minute until fragrant. Add 200 g (7 oz) roasted red peppers, 2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes, and 0.5 tsp smoked paprika; cook 2-3 minutes. Pour in 0.5 cup vegetable broth; simmer to deglaze.
- Finish Sauce and Combine: Stir in 1.5 cups heavy cream; gently simmer. Add 4 oz crumbled Gorgonzola, stirring until melted and smooth (about 5 minutes) until sauce thickens. Slice steak. Toss fettuccine into skillet with sauce, coating thoroughly. Add reserved pasta water for glossy consistency. Garnish with 0.25 cup chopped fresh parsley.
Notes
For shortcuts, use pre-minced garlic or frozen chopped shallots, and cook pasta while searing steak. The gorgonzola sauce can be prepared ahead and gently reheated. For dietary adjustments, use gluten-free pasta or serve over zucchini noodles for low-carb.
