Instructions
-
Season the Steak:
Season steak strips with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme. -
Cook the Steak:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak strips for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness. Set aside. -

In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan and Gorgonzola until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. -
Cook the Pasta:
While the sauce simmers, cook fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside. -
Combine:
Toss the cooked pasta in the Alfredo sauce, making sure it’s well coated. -
