Ingredients
- 8 ounces fettuccine or your favorite pasta
- 1 pound steak (sirloin, ribeye, or strip), sliced thinly
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving ½ cup of the pasta water.
Meanwhile, season the steak generously with salt, pepper, and a pinch of Italian seasoning. Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak slices and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your liking. Remove from the skillet and set aside to rest.
In the same pan, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Stir in minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and milk, stirring gently as it begins to simmer. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and whisk until smooth and creamy. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water until it reaches your desired consistency.
Add the cooked pasta directly into the sauce, tossing until fully coated. Slice the steak and layer it over the creamy pasta. Stir gently to combine or serve the steak on top for a restaurant-style presentation. Garnish with chopped parsley and a sprinkle of extra Parmesan.
Tips for the Perfect Alfredo
For maximum creaminess, use freshly grated Parmesan — pre-shredded cheese won’t melt as smoothly. Don’t overcook the steak; medium or medium-rare keeps it tender and juicy. You can also add sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or sun-dried tomatoes for extra texture and flavor.
Serving Ideas
Serve this dish with warm garlic bread and a crisp Caesar salad for the perfect Italian-inspired dinner. A glass of white wine, like Chardonnay, pairs beautifully with the creamy sauce.
