Steak Alfredo Lasagna Recipes

LASAGNE AL FORNO (ITALIAN BEEF LASAGNA)

Steps:

• Finely chop the carrot, onion and celery and saute the vegetables gently in a large frying pan with the olive oil. Once the vegetables are soft add the beef and pork mince and cook until browned.
• If there is a lot of excess fat in the pan, spoon some out. Add the red wine and reduce by half.
• Once the wine has reduced, add the sieved tomatoes, tomato paste, bay leaves, 4 cups of beef stock (1 litre) and a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Stir everything together and leave to simmer on a low heat for 2.5-3 hours uncovered. Add the rest of the beef stock half way through.
• Add the butter to a saucepan and cook until melted and bubbling.
• Add the flour to the melted butter and stir to form a paste. Let the flour cook for 1 minute.
• Slowly whisk half of the milk into the butter and flour constantly whisking to avoid any lumps. Once it has started to thicken add the rest of the milk, nutmeg, parmesan and a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Continue to heat the sauce whilst stirring until thickened enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Take off the heat and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350F (180C).
• To assemble the lasagne, spoon a small amount of ragu on the very bottom of the baking dish. Top with and even layer of lasagna pasta sheets (cut the pasta sheets to fit your baking dish).
• Add a few more spoons of ragu so the pasta is completely covered followed by 2 ladels of white sauce.
• Repeat the layers of pasta, ragu and bechamel sauce until everything is used up making sure to keep enough of bechamel sauce for the very top layer (you should have 4-5 layers of pasta).
• Cover the top layer of the lasagne with torn mozzarella and then bake in the oven for 45minutes or until bubbling and golden.
• Let it cool slightly for 5-10 minutes before serving.

STEAK ALFREDO

Steps:

• Allow the steaks to come to room temperature. Generously season all sides of the meat with the cajun or blackened seasoning.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the fettuccine. Cook the fettuccine until al dente according to package instructions, typically about 12 minutes. Reserve 1/2 to 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
• While the pasta cooks, preheat a cast iron skillet over high heat. Add the butter to the pan. Once the butter has melted, add the steaks and sear for 2-4 minutes per side until medium-rare (130 to 135 degrees F) when tested with a digital meat thermometer. Remove and rest on a cutting board. **Keep in mind the steaks temperature will rise about 5 degrees as it rests.**
• Heat another skillet with a stick of butter over medium-high heat. Add in the sun dried tomatoes and minced garlic. Sauté for 30-60 seconds until fragrant. Slowly add the heavy cream while whisking. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 5 to 10 minutes until thickened a bit, stirring occasionally. Stir in the diced tomatoes along with the grated parmesan and Gorgonzola cheese. Add pepper, Italian seasoning, and salt.
• Add the cooked fettuccine noodles to the sauce and toss to coat. If the sauce looks too thick, add some of the pasta water to loosen it up a bit.
• Use a sharp knife to slice steak into thin strips. Top the pasta with the steak and garnish with chopped fresh parsley and additional grated parmesan cheese, if desired. Enjoy!

LASAGNA WITH MEAT SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Meat Sauce: Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high. Add beef, sausage, onion, carrots, celery, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up meat into bite-size pieces, until vegetables soften and meat has browned, about 10 minutes. Add garlic, oregano, and red-pepper flakes; cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add tomato paste; cook 2 minutes more. Puree tomatoes in a blender or food processor; add to pan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced and thickened slightly but still very loose, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Cheese Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together ricotta, milk, eggs, 1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano, 2 1/2 cups mozzarella, parsley, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Assembly: Spread 2 cups meat sauce evenly in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, preferably ceramic or enameled cast iron. Arrange 3 lasagna noodles over sauce (space noodles evenly; they will expand as the lasagna cooks). Spread 2 cups cheese mixture over noodles; top with 3 more noodles. Repeat layering of meat and cheese mixtures between noodles twice more. Spread 2 cups meat sauce evenly over top layer of noodles. Sprinkle evenly with remaining 1 1/2 cups mozzarella and 1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano. Loosely cover with parchment-lined foil and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet.
• Bake until noodles are tender but still al dente (easily pierced with the tip of a knife), 40 to 45 minutes. Uncover; continue baking until bubbly and puffed slightly along edges and golden brown in places on top, 20 to 25 minutes more. (There may appear to be a lot of liquid in the dish. It will be absorbed as the lasagna cools.) Transfer dish to a wire rack and let cool slightly and set, about 20 minutes; cut into squares to serve.

EASY ALFREDO LASAGNA

Steps:

• Combine ground beef and sausage with your choice of seasoning and cook over medium heat until brown. While the meat mixture is cooking, mix together ricotta and parmesan with eggs. Stir until blended, set aside.
• When the meat is browned, drain as much grease as possible from it before stirring into egg and cheese mixture.
• Spray a bread pan or casserole with non-stick cooking spray. Pour in enough sauce to cover the bottom of the pan, layer in a noodle. In the bread pan, one noodle fills the bottom and makes layering a snap.
• Next, layer on meat mixture and top with shredded mozzarella. Repeat layering process with sauce, noodle, meat and cheese. Pour a final layer of sauce and then top off with cheese. Cover with foil and bake about 35 minutes, until mixture is bubbly, then remove foil and bake another 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and edges are brown.
• Remove from oven, let cool a few minutes before plating. Serve with warm, crusty bread and a green salad for a lovely and simple meal.
