A rich and creamy Steak Alfredo featuring tender seared steak served over fettuccine pasta tossed in a homemade Parmesan Alfredo sauce, perfect for an indulgent dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Sauce

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups freshly and finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Pinch of fresh nutmeg
  • 2 Tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped

For the Pasta

  • 1 lb. fettuccine pasta

For the Steak

  • 1 lb. steak (Sirloin, Filet, New York Strip, Ribeye, or choice cut)
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • Black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Make the Alfredo Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the heavy cream. Heat just until it begins to bubble, then reduce heat to low and let simmer gently for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Finish the Sauce: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of fresh nutmeg. Finally, stir in chopped parsley. Set the sauce aside to thicken slightly as you prepare the rest of the meal.
  3. Prepare the Steak: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Season both sides of the steak generously with kosher salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes on one side.
  4. Sear and Baste the Steak: Flip the steak in the skillet and add the unsalted butter. Baste the steak with the melted butter by spooning it over the meat for about 3 minutes. Check the internal temperature to estimate remaining oven time based on desired doneness.
  5. Finish Steak in Oven: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook the steak for an additional 3-5 minutes depending on preferred doneness—medium-rare to medium-well. Remove steak from oven and transfer to a cutting board. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  6. Cook the Pasta: While the steak is resting, cook the fettuccine pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain the pasta well.
  7. Toss Pasta in Sauce: Combine the cooked fettuccine immediately with the prepared Alfredo sauce, tossing to coat evenly and keep the pasta warm.
  8. Serve: Divide the creamy Alfredo pasta between plates or bowls. Top each serving with sliced rested steak. Garnish with additional chopped parsley, extra Parmesan cheese, and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy your decadent Steak Alfredo meal.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for best flavor and smoother sauce.
  • Adjust cream simmer time slightly to thicken sauce to preferred consistency.
  • Resting steak is important to retain juices and tenderness.
  • Choose your favorite steak cut; ribeye and filet mignon work particularly well.
  • Add garlic to the butter when basting for extra flavor if desired.
  • For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream but expect a thinner sauce.
