Do you like balsamic vinegar? Like the taste of it? I do, like, a LOT! It’s just so….KAPOW with flavor, ya know? So when I go to Olive Garden (which hasn’t been in well over a year, but still), I love to order their Steak Gorgonzola with Balsamic Glaze. Yum-o! This is a copy-cat of that, and although it’s been quite awhile since I’ve had the true version to really compare, this was absolutely DELISH, and just how I remembered it.

Okay, I may be drooling again! Oh…and it was super EASY, which I wasn’t expected. BONUS!

1 1/2 cups Italian Dressing

1 tbsp. Rosemary

1 tbsp. Lemon Juice

1 lb. Steak filets

1 lb. Pasta (I used Rotini)

2 cups Alfredo sauce (you can use this recipe just without the red pepper flakes)

1/2 cup Green Onion, diced

4 cups Spinach

3 tbsp. Gorgonzola, crumbled

2 cups Balsamic Vinegar

1/2 cup Brown Sugar

Sundried Tomatoes, if desired

Parsley, if desired

In a bowl, mix the Italian Dressing, Rosemary, and Lemon Juice. Use this to marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes, preferably an hour.

Cook the steak with the marinade in a skillet over medium-high heat until cooked through.

Cook the pasta according to package directions. Then mix with the Alfredo Sauce, Green Onion, and Gorgonzola. Toss with the Spinach.

In a saucepan, mix the Balsamic Vinegar and Brown Sugar, stirring frequently. Bring to a boil, then simmer about 20 minutes.

Pour glaze over steak, and serve along side the pasta. Top either/both of the dishes with more crumbled Gorgonzola, Sundried Tomatoes and/or Parsley, if desired.
