The most delicious dish at Olive Garden, in my opinion. This Steak Gorgonzola recipe is one of many you will find floating around the internet, so I know I am not alone in thinking this is so yum. I add garlic, mushrooms and onions to mine. The homemade alfredo sauce with the sweet balsamic glaze and sharp gorgonzola makes for such a deep layered flavor. It is fantastic. Also, relatively easy to make. I hope you give it a try.
Ingredients
- 1 pound steak or steak medallions
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- salt
- pepper
- 1/2 – 1 lb fettuccine or pasta of choice
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1-2 cups spinach
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 1-2 tsp chopped garlic
- 1-2 small portabella mushrooms, sliced
- 8 oz parmesan cheese, shredded
- gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- balsamic glaze
Directions
- Salt and pepper both sides of your steak. Place into a ziploc bag or bowl with balsamic vinegar and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook steaks to just before the reach your desired doneness. Plate and cover to rest while you make the rest of the meal. The steaks will cook a little more while resting.
- Sauté onion until translucent. Set aside.
- Cook pasta according to box directions.
- In a skillet on medium heat add butter and cream. Heat until butter is melted into cream. Stir.
- Turn heat down to med. low and add spinach to cream mixture. Cook until spinach is wilted.
- Add onion and garlic. Stir.
- Add parmesan and pepper. Stir until parmesan is melted.
- Add pasta to sauce and toss to coat.
- Let it cook 2-3 minutes to let flavors mingle.
- Add salt, if needed. (Cheese is salty so taste test first.)
- If sauce is too thin let it cook a bit longer until desired thickness. If sauce is too thick add a little pasta water until it reaches desired thickness.
- Plate pasta. Top with steaks.
- Drizzle balsamic glaze on top.
- Sprinkle with bits of gorgonzola.
- Enjoy!
