Steaks with Gorgonzola and Fettuccine Alfredo
4 servings
30 minutes total
  • Prepare steaks and begin to cook (5 minutes)
  • While steaks cook, prepare pasta recipe through step 3 (15 minutes)
  • Complete both recipes and serve (10 minutes)

Steaks with Gorgonzola

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons garlic-herb butter
  • ½ cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
  • 1 ½ lb flat iron steaks
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • ½ cup white wine

Steps

    1. Combine butter and cheese in small bowl until blended; set aside. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Season both sides of steaks with salt and pepper (wash hands).
    2. Place oil in pan; swirl to coat. Add steaks and cook 5–7 minutes on each side until 125°F (for medium rare; warm red center), 130°F (for medium; warm pink center), or up to 170°F (for well done). Transfer to cutting board and let stand 5–10 minutes before slicing. Temperature will rise 5–10°F during this time.
    3. Drain oil from pan and return to heat. Pour wine into pan and stir to loosen browned bits left on bottom. Cook 3–4 minutes or until liquid has reduced almost completely.
    4. Return steaks to pan. Add butter-cheese mixture; turn steaks until butter melts and steaks are coated. Serve.
    NOTE: The doneness temperatures for medium rare and medium stated above are traditional temperatures used for cooking steaks, but are not recommended by the USDA. To maintain food safety, the USDA recommends an internal temperature of 145°F, as measured using a food thermometer, with a 3-minute rest before carving.

Fettuccine Alfredo

Ingredients

  • 3 cups water
  • 1 (9 oz) package refrigerated fettuccine pasta
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan, Romano, and Asiago cheese blend
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon pepper

Steps

    1. Combine water and pasta in microwave-safe bowl; cover and microwave on HIGH 5 minutes.
    2. Meanwhile, melt butter in large sauté pan on medium-high. Combine cornstarch and half-and-half in small bowl until blended and smooth. Stir into melted butter and bring to a full boil, whisking frequently.
    3. Stir pasta to loosen noodles; cover and microwave 1 more minute or until pasta is tender.
    4. Remove pan from heat and whisk in cheese, salt, and pepper until smooth. Drain pasta thoroughly and stir into sauce until blended. Serve.

Serving Suggestions

  • Complete your meal with fresh salad blend, dinner rolls, and chocolates for dessert.
  • Serve the pasta immediately after preparation, as it will become sticky and heavy if left to cool.
