Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (454 g) ribeye steak
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp Kinder’s prime steak seasoning
- 1 tbsp garlic salt
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 2 tbsps balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsps unsalted butter
- 8 oz (227 g) cooked fettuccine noodles
- 1/3 cup pasta water
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup gorgonzola cheese (crumbled)
- 3/4 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 cup sundried tomatoes
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Garnish: fresh parsley and balsamic glaze
Instructions
- Cook fettuccine in salted boiling water for 8-10 minutes until perfectly al dente. Drain and reserve some pasta water for later use.
- Generously coat ribeye steak with Kinder’s steak seasoning, onion powder, garlic salt, paprika, and balsamic vinegar, ensuring even coverage on all surfaces.
- Preheat skillet to medium-high heat with butter and vegetable oil. Sear steak for 3-4 minutes per side, achieving desired internal temperature. Transfer to cutting board and let rest for 5-7 minutes.
- Reduce skillet heat to medium. Sauté minced garlic and sundried tomatoes until aromatic, approximately 2 minutes.
- Pour heavy cream into skillet, creating a rich base. Gradually incorporate parmesan and gorgonzola cheeses, stirring continuously until smooth and slightly thickened.
- Adjust sauce consistency with reserved pasta water. Season with salt and pepper to enhance flavor profile.
- Gently fold cooked fettuccine into cheese sauce, ensuring complete and even coating of noodles.
- Slice rested steak into thin, elegant strips. Arrange steak atop sauced pasta. Finish with balsamic glaze drizzle, fresh parsley garnish, and additional gorgonzola crumbles.
Notes
- Achieve perfectly tender steak by letting it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking, which helps ensure even heat distribution and prevents tough meat.
- Control sauce consistency by gradually adding pasta water, allowing you to create a silky smooth texture that clings beautifully to the noodles without becoming too thick or thin.
- Enhance flavor depth by using freshly grated parmesan and high-quality gorgonzola cheese, which melts more smoothly and provides a richer, more authentic taste profile.
- Accommodate dietary restrictions by substituting heavy cream with coconut cream or using gluten-free pasta, making this indulgent dish adaptable for various nutritional needs.
