Ingredients:
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 lb sirloin steak, cut into cubes
8 oz fettuccine pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup grated mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup beef broth
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped
Fresh lemon juice, optional
Instructions:
Cook the Pasta:
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Cook the Steak:
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak cubes with salt and pepper. Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Cook the Shrimp:
In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Prepare the Alfredo Sauce:
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the Parmesan and mozzarella cheese. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens. Add the beef broth to adjust the consistency if needed.
Combine:
Add the cooked fettuccine pasta, steak, and shrimp into the skillet. Toss everything together until evenly coated with the creamy sauce. Add more salt and pepper to taste.
Serve:
Plate the pasta and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley. For extra flavor, squeeze some lemon juice over the top before serving. Enjoy!
