Creamy Steak Alfredo
This hearty pasta dish combines seared steak with a velvety garlic cream sauce for a perfect comfort meal.
recipesbynani.comThere is something so comforting about a big bowl of creamy fettuccine. Adding slices of seared steak turns a simple pasta night into a fancy dinner that feels special but is actually very easy to pull together in your own kitchen.
My biggest tip for this one is to let your steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it. This helps the juices stay inside the meat so every bite is tender and flavorful rather than chewy.
🧺 Ingredients
- 12 ounces fettuccine pasta
- 1 pound sirloin steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
👩🍳Instructions
- 1
Cook the fettuccine in a large pot of salted boiling water according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- 2
Season the steak generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- 3
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the steak and sear until it reaches your desired doneness, about 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium rare.
- 4
Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
- 5
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for about one minute until it smells wonderful.
- 6
Pour in the heavy cream and let it simmer gently for 3 to 5 minutes until it begins to thicken.
- 7
Stir in the parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and melted.
- 8
Toss the cooked pasta into the sauce until every strand is coated.
- 9
Serve the pasta in bowls topped with the sliced steak and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
💡 Tips
If you have leftovers, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. When reheating, add a tiny splash of milk or cream to the pan to loosen up the sauce so it stays nice and creamy.
