Ingredients
- 1 lb steak
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 ounce fettuccine pasta
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoon butter
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
1. 1. Start by seasoning both sides of the steak generously with salt and black pepper, ensuring every bite is flavorful.
2. 2. Next, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the steak in the skillet and sear it for about 4-5 minutes on each side for a perfect medium-rare doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet, allowing it to rest for a few minutes before slicing. Resting is crucial as it helps the juices redistribute, resulting in a more succulent steak.
3. 3. While the steak is resting, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Don’t forget to save a little pasta water before draining it and setting the fettuccine aside.
4. 4. In the same skillet used for the steak, reduce the heat to medium. Add butter and let it melt before sautéing the minced garlic for approximately 1 minute until fragrant. Next, pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer. Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
5. 5. Toss the cooked fettuccine in the Alfredo sauce, ensuring that each strand is generously coated. Slice the rested steak and layer it on top of the creamy pasta. To finish, garnish with chopped parsley and additional Parmesan if desired. Dive in and enjoy your rich and cheesy Steak Parmesan Alfredo!
Notes
Opt for high-quality cuts like ribeye for maximum flavor, or go for sirloin if you’re looking for something leaner.
Always allow your steak to rest before slicing to lock in juices.
Aim for al dente pasta to ensure it holds up well once tossed in the sauce.
For a smoother sauce, whisk continuously as you add the cheese and consider adjusting with a splash of pasta water for desired consistency.
