Instructions
Steak:
- Mix the Italian dressing, balsamic vinegar, rosemary, salt, and black pepper in a Zip Top freezer bag.
- Place the steak in the bag and seal it tightly.
- Let the steak rest for 30 minutes to soak up the flavors.
Balsamic glaze:
- Pour the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer.
- Stir often until the glaze has reduced by half.
- Set aside to cool so the glaze can thicken.
Fettuccine Alfredo:
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Mix in the heavy cream, nutmeg, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Continue stirring and bring the sauce to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to medium, then stir in the Gorgonzola and Parmesan cheese.
- Once the cheese has melted and the sauce has thickened, toss the al dente pasta and spinach into the sauce.
Assembling the steak gorgonzola:
- While the sauce is cooking, heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the olive oil and butter to the skillet.
- Place the marinated steak in the skillet and cook for two to three minutes per side.
- Serve the steak over the fettuccine with the Alfredo sauce.
- Garnish with sun-dried tomatoes, balsamic drizzle, and more Gorgonzola crumbles. Enjoy!
