Creamy Steak Fettuccine
Ingredients
300g fettuccine pasta
250g steak (sirloin or ribeye works great)
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 tsp dried Italian herbs
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Cook the Pasta:
Boil the fettuccine in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
2. Prepare the Steak:
Season the steak with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness. Remove and let it rest before slicing thinly.
3. Make the Sauce:
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
Pour in heavy cream and stir. Add Parmesan cheese and Italian herbs. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
4. Combine Pasta and Sauce:
Toss the cooked fettuccine in the creamy sauce. If needed, add a splash of reserved pasta water to adjust the consistency.
5. Assemble the Dish:
Plate the creamy fettuccine and top with slices of steak. Sprinkle fresh parsley for garnish.
Pro Tip:
For extra flavor, drizzle a bit of truffle oil over the pasta before serving. Pair with a glass of red wine for a perfect dinner experience!
