How to Make It
1. Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook fettuccine according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
2. Season the Steak
While pasta cooks, season steak strips with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and rosemary.
3. Sear the Steak
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook 3–4 minutes per side, or to your preferred doneness. Remove from pan and set aside.
4. Make the Alfredo Sauce
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté garlic for 1 minute. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Gradually add Parmesan and Gorgonzola, stirring until smooth and creamy. Add nutmeg, salt, and pepper to taste.
5. Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in sauce.
6. Assemble and Serve
Top pasta with steak slices. Garnish with parsley and more Gorgonzola if desired. Serve immediately.
