Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo – Olive Garden’s Copycat

This post contains some affiliate links for your convince. Click here to read my full disclosure policy.

Once a year on Kayla’s birthday she always asks for two things. Steak gorgonzola alfredo and mozzarella fonduta from Olive Garden. 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. When you think about Kelsie’s food allergies, we just can’t eat there. Cross contamination is fairly high. Lucky for us this recipe tastes identical to the real thing at Olive Garden!

This recipe features chunks of steak in a creamy gorgonzola sauce with fresh spinach, topped with a balsamic glaze that is out of this world delicious! You can’t go wrong when preparing this and it makes so much! The four of us easily eat it, with plenty of leftovers.

What do you need?
2 1/5 pounds boneless top sirloin steak, cut into inch chunks
1 pound of pasta, cooked according to the directions
Gorgonzola cheese
Balsamic glaze (you can buy this, or make your own, see note at the bottom)
1 1/2 cups Italian dressing
1 tablespoon fresh chopped rosemary
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
4 cups chopped spinach
16oz jar Alfredo Sauce (we buy a yummy jar from Fresh Market)

What do you do?
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.

Note: To 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. Your 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. 🙂 We love Roland Balsamic Glaze.
