Steak Alfredo Pasta Recipe

Ingredients:

• For the Steak:
  • 2 ribeye steaks (or your preferred cut)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• For the Alfredo Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
• For the Pasta:
  • 12 ounces fettuccine or linguine
  • Salt for the pasta water
• For Garnish:
  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Steak:
   • Season the steaks generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
   • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil.
   • Once the oil is hot, add the steaks to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
   • During the last minute of cooking, add the minced garlic and butter to the skillet, basting the steaks with the melted butter and garlic.
   • Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for at least 5 minutes before slicing.
2. Cook the Pasta:
   • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
   • Add the fettuccine or linguine and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
   • Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta water, and set aside.
3. Prepare the Alfredo Sauce:
   • In the same skillet used for the steaks, melt the butter over medium heat.
   • Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
   • Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
   • Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
   • Season with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using) to taste.
   • If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water until you reach the desired consistency.
4. Combine the Pasta and Sauce:
   • Add the cooked pasta to the Alfredo sauce, tossing to coat the pasta evenly.
   • If needed, add more pasta water to loosen the sauce.
5. Serve:
   • Slice the rested steaks into thin strips.
   • Serve the Alfredo pasta on plates, topped with the sliced steak.
   • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and additional grated Parmesan cheese.
