Description
A rich and comforting creamy steak pasta dish with tender seared steak and a silky sauce, perfect for cozy dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 400 g (14 oz) fettuccine
- 300 g (10 oz) steak (ribeye or sirloin)
- 240 ml (1 cup) heavy cream
- 60 g (½ cup) grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 400 g (14 oz) of fettuccine and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain the pasta, saving a cup of the cooking water for later use.
- Sear the Steak: While the pasta cooks, season 300 g (10 oz) of steak with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steak and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side or until it’s browned. Remove from the skillet and let rest.
- Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in 240 ml (1 cup) of heavy cream and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. Stir in 60 g (½ cup) of grated Parmesan cheese until creamy.
- Combine All Ingredients: Slice the rested steak into thin strips. Add the cooked pasta and sliced steak to the skillet with the sauce. Stir gently to coat the pasta evenly, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm through.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
To enhance flavor, don’t overcrowd the skillet while searing the steak. Avoid microwaving when reheating to prevent the sauce from becoming grainy.
