What others are saying: Yusra - "Absolutely delicious, the whole family loved it! This will be a regular for Valentine's Day and special occasions."
Barbara - "This has been a favorite that I've missed for a long time. I am glad to see it back on the menu, and even more glad that I now have this delicious copycat."
A while back I discovered that Olive Garden had some of their recipes on their website. We know how expensive eating out can be, even though Olive Garden offers very generous portions, it's still, for a family of four, kind of pricey.

How do you make Olive Garden Alfredo Sauce?
So, if you aren't keen on buying a jar of alfredo sauce (Rao's is a delicious alternative to homemade), you can make your own.
Although this isn't their exact recipe, it tastes oh-so-close!
You'll need, 3 tablespoons butter, 2 cups heavy whipping cream, salt and pepper to taste, ½ tablespoon minced garlic, and ½ cup grated parmesan cheese.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Sautee the garlic until fragrant. Whisk in the flour. Add the heavy cream and grated cheese and whisk until the sauce thickens. Salt and pepper to taste.
How do you make Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo Olive Garden Copycat Recipe:
- First your going to mix together your Italian dressing, lemon juice and rosemary, add your meat to the marinade, cover, and marinade for at least one hour.
- After your meat marinates proceed.
- Cook your pasta according to the directions.
- While your pasta is cooking, cook your steak in a large pan over medium heat, cooking until the meat is no longer pink, or until your preference. We always like a little pink to our meat. Remove the meat and set aside.
- Heat your alfredo sauce in the same large pan over medium heat.
- Add your spinach and 3 tablespoons of the gorgonzola cheese. Continue cooking until the cheese has melted.
- Once your pasta is cooked, drain and toss in your sauce. Add your meat.
- Plate up and crumble extra gorgonzola cheese on top and finish with a drizzle of the balsamic glaze.
How do you make balsamic glaze:
Place your balsamic vinegar in a small pot and heat to boiling. Once it reaches boiling, reduce to a simmer for 15 minutes or so. You're looking for a slightly thickened texture.
Or you can buy your own now! It tastes just the same, and it won't stink up your kitchen. 🙂 It is located with the oils and vinegars in your grocery store.
Where's the tomato?
Well, Kelsie has an allergy to tomatoes, so we omit this ingredient. However, you can purchase the jar of sundried tomatoes, and place ¼ cup chopped sun dried tomatoes right at the end, before you plate up.
Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo Copycat Recipe Faq's and Tips
Did Olive Garden discontinue steak gorgonzola alfredo? Yes, unfortunately they did. It is back on the menu right now, but I'm not sure if it's for good or a short time.
What is in steak gorgonzola alfredo? steak, gorgonzola cheese, alfredo sauce, pasta, balsamic glaze and sundried toamtoes.
What is the difference between blue cheese and gorgonzola cheese? Fun fact, both are blue cheese. Gorgonzola is a specific type of blue cheese that comes from Italy made from cow's milk. It has a milder and softer texture compared to other blue cheeses which can be made from various milks like cow, sheep or goat.
Can I use a different cheese to make this? Yes, but it's typically gorgonzola. However, I have made this with regular blue cheese that I had in the fridge, and it was equally as yummy.
What do you serve with Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo? A green salad, garlic bread or cheese sticks.
How do you store Steak Gorgonzola? Once cooled it can be placed in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To reheat I place the steak on a baking sheet lined with foil and place into a cold oven. I put the temperature on 350 degrees and as soon as the oven has come to temperature (350 degrees) I remove it. To reheat the pasta with the sauce, I place it in the microwave covered on a microwave safe plate, and heat for 30 second increments, until heated through.

When you cook the steak, do you take the steak out of the dressing mixture or dump all contents in the pan and cook it?
