Ingredients

1 pound top sirloin

1/2 cup olive oil, divided

1/4 cup dry white wine or cooking sherry

4 cloves garlic, crushed

1/4 - 1/2 tsp dried oregano

1/4 - 1/2 tsp dried basil

2/3 cup mushrooms, any variety, sliced

1 red bell pepper, cut into matchsticks

Bowtie pasta, I always eyeball the amount

Water, enough to cook the pasta

1 stick butter

1 8 oz package reduced fat cream cheese

1 1/2 c milk

Scant 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan or Asiago cheese

tiny pinch of nutmeg

1/2 - 1 cup gorgonzola cheese, crumbled

salt and pepper to taste

Optional:

1/2 cup pine nutes, toasted

1/2 cup green onions, chopped

Directions

Combine 1/4 cup of the olive oil, the white wine, 1 clove of garlic, the oregano and basil in a gallon size zip top bag.

Tenderize the steak, if necessary, and place in the zip top bag, carefully squeezing out as much air as possible.

Place steak in the fridge and marinate 2-4 hours.

In a small sauce pan, prepare the alfredo-esque sauce by melting the butter over medium heat. Add 1 clove of the garlic, and cook briefly, stirring. Add the cream cheese, smooshing it down with the back of a large cooking spoon. Add the Parmesan or Asiago and the milk a little at a time. Taste, and add salt, pepper, and a wee pinch of nutmeg.

Heat 1/4 cup of olive oil over medium heat in a medium skillet. Add mushrooms and bell pepper, toss and cook a few minutes. Add the remaining garlic and continue to cook until the mushrooms are done to your liking.

Heat the broiler and bring water to a boil in a large pot.

Broil the steak to your liking., Remove from broiler and allow to rest while the pasta cooks. Cut into bite sized slices.

Cook the pasta al dente, drain.

Return the pasta to the pot, add the mushroom-pepper mixture, toss in the sauce.

To servie:

Put pasta, veggie and sauce combo on a plate. Top with steak slices. Top steak slices with Gorgonzola, and if desired, with pine nuts and/or green onions.
