Ingredients

1.5 cups 2% milk
1.5 cups heavy cream
0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
0.5 cup grated Romano cheese
6 jumbo egg yolks
salt and ground black pepper
1.5 cups Italian-style salad dressing
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 lbs flat iron steak, cut into 3-inch squares
1 lb dry fettuccine pasta
4 cups chopped fresh spinach
4 tablespoons crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, divided
2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
chopped fresh parsley

Directions

1

Heat milk and cream in a saucepan over medium heat until simmering, about 5 minutes. Slowly whisk in Parmesan and Romano cheeses. Remove from heat.

2

Whisk egg yolks together in a heat-proof bowl; slowly whisk in about 1/4 cup hot cream mixture to temper eggs. Slowly whisk egg yolk mixture into the saucepan. Season with salt and black pepper. Allow Alfredo sauce to cool; refrigerate until needed.

3

Whisk salad dressing, rosemary, and lemon juice together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add steak and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours.

4

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

5

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.

6

Heat 2 cups refrigerated Alfredo sauce in a saucepan over medium heat. Add spinach and 2 tablespoons Gorgonzola cheese.

7

Remove steak from marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade. Cook on the preheated grill to desired doneness, 5 to 10 minutes.

8

Pour hot Alfredo sauce into a large serving bowl. Add cooked pasta; toss to combine. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons Gorgonzola cheese on top. Add grilled steak; drizzle with balsamic glaze. Garnish with parsley.
