Ingredients
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook fettuccine noodles until al dente. Check package directions, as cook times vary by brand. Drain pasta, but reserve about 1 cup of cooking water and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper.
- Add steaks to skillet and cook 4–5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached. Transfer steaks to a plate, cover with aluminum foil and let them rest for about 5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. In the same skillet, melt the butter, then add the garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Then add the cream and ½ cup reserved pasta water.
- Add parmesan cheese and stir until melted, then bring to a gentle simmer.
- Allow sauce to cook for 5–6 minutes, or until sauce is thickened. Add more pasta water if needed to achieve desired consistency.
- Add cooked noodles to pan and toss in alfredo sauce until fully coated.
- Slice the steak thinly against the grain and add it to the noodles. Toss gently to combine.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
Notes
For the most tender bites, let the steak rest before slicing and cut it thinly against the grain.
Leftovers keep in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Reheat gently over low heat with a splash of cream or water to loosen the sauce. This dish doesn't freeze well.
For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free fettuccine.
