Steak and Shrimp Alfredo with Fettuccine
Ingredients
For the Steak:
1 lb sirloin or filet mignon, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp unsalted butter
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Shrimp:
12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Alfredo Sauce:
2 tbsp unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Pasta:
12 oz fettuccine
1 tsp olive oil
(for boiling pasta)
1/4 cup reserved pasta water (optional)
Garnish:
Fresh parsley, chopped
Extra grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Prepare the Steak:
Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season steak pieces with salt and pepper, then sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and medium-rare (or to your preferred doneness). Remove from skillet and set aside.
Cook the Shrimp:
In the same skillet, add olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Season shrimp with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Cook the Pasta:
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add fettuccine, and cook until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water, drain, and toss pasta with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Make the Alfredo Sauce:
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually add Parmesan cheese, whisking until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
If the sauce is too thick, use the reserved pasta water to thin it out.
Combine:
Add the cooked fettuccine to the Alfredo sauce, tossing to coat evenly.
Gently fold in the cooked steak and shrimp.
Plate and Garnish:
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese.
Tips:
For extra flavor, deglaze the skillet with a splash of white wine or beef broth before making the Alfredo sauce.
Adjust the seasoning to your liking with red pepper flakes for a hint of heat.
This Steak and Shrimp Alfredo is an indulgent meal that’s perfect for a special occasion or when you’re craving something rich and satisfying. Enjoy!
