Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
**Cook the Fettuccine**: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
- 2
**Prepare the Steak**: While the pasta is cooking, season both sides of the steak with salt and black pepper.
- 3
**Sear the Steak**: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steak and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side (depending on the thickness) until it reaches medium-rare. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy – aim for an internal temperature of 130°F. Transfer steak to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- 4
**Make the Alfredo Sauce**: In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and melt the butter. If using, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes. Gradually whisk in the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
- 5
**Combine Pasta and Sauce**: Toss the drained fettuccine into the Alfredo sauce. Mix well to coat. Add more pasta water if necessary.
- 6
**Slice the Steak**: Cut the rested steak into thin slices.
- 7
**Serve**: Plate the creamy fettuccine, topped with the sliced steak. Garnish with fresh parsley, and sprinkle with additional cheese if desired.
- Steak: A nice ribeye or New York strip will work beautifully.
- Fettuccine: Fresh or dried, whichever you prefer, but fresh cooks faster.
- Creamy Alfredo Sauce: Made from butter, heavy cream, and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
- Optional: Garlic and parsley for an added flavor touch.
