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.
๐งบ 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
๐ฉโ๐ณInstructions
- 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.

Toss the cooked pasta into the sauce until every strand is coated.

Serve the pasta in bowls topped with the sliced steak and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
๐ก 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.
