Ingredients
Scale
For the Steak
- 2 ribeye steaks (or sirloin, filet mignon, or your preferred cut)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
For the Alfredo Sauce
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
For the Pasta
- 12 oz fettuccine pasta (or any pasta of your choice)
- Water (for boiling pasta)
- Salt, for the pasta water
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Steak
- Season the steaks with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the steaks and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time based on your preferred doneness.
- Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips against the grain.
Step 2: Make the Alfredo Sauce
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream, bring it to a simmer, and cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce the heat and slowly whisk in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
Step 3: Cook the Pasta
- In a separate pot, cook the fettuccine pasta in salted boiling water according to the package instructions (about 8-10 minutes). Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
Step 4: Combine the Pasta and Sauce
- Add the cooked pasta to the Alfredo sauce and toss to coat the noodles evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add a little bit of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
Step 5: Assemble the Dish
- Slice the cooked steak into strips and arrange them on top of the creamy Alfredo pasta.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use your favorite cut of steak – Ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon all work wonderfully in this dish.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and creaminess.
- Reserve pasta water – It helps to thicken the sauce and ensures the pasta stays creamy and coated.
- Let the steak rest – This helps to keep it juicy and tender.
- Adjust garlic to your taste – If you love garlic, feel free to add more.
