Ingredients & Flavor Breakdown

The Steak

A juicy, pan-seared sirloin or ribeye is ideal for this dish. It’s seasoned simply with salt, pepper, and garlic, then cooked to your desired doneness.

Gorgonzola Cheese

Gorgonzola adds sharpness and a luxurious creamy texture that melts beautifully into the hot pasta and steak. You can use either dolce (mild) or piccante (strong) depending on your preference.

The Alfredo Sauce

This sauce is a creamy base made with:

  • Butter
  • Heavy cream
  • Freshly grated Parmesan
  • Garlic
    It’s smooth, rich, and clings perfectly to fettuccine or tagliatelle.
