Tangy blue cheese crumbles pair nicely with savory strips of venison steak and the creamy Alfredo sauce. If you don't care for the flavor of traditional blue cheese but still want to try the recipe, substitute feta cheese crumbles for a milder version that is still delicious.
Use any venison cut, but slice it against the grain into thin strips so that it is tender.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Season the steak strips with the garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Sear the steak for a few minutes per side, until well browned but still medium-rare. Set the meat aside on a warm platter.
Season the venison, then brown it in oil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter to the pan then sauté the garlic, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Reduce the heat and add the butter and garlic, stirring to prevent burning.
Once the garlic has cooked for a minute or two, add the heavy cream, Italian seasoning, and parmesan cheese. Stir in the blue cheese crumbles. Add the cooked and drained fettuccine and stir well to fully coat the pasta.
Build the sauce in the pan, then add the cooked pasta.
Return the cooked venison steak strips to the pan and stir well to combine.
