½ tsp garlic powder

For the Alfredo Sauce:
2 tbsp unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)

For the Pasta:
12 oz fettuccine or linguine pasta
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Tools You’ll Need
Large skillet
Large pot for pasta
Mixing spoon or spatula
Tongs
Measuring cups and spoons

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente.
Drain and set aside, reserving ½ cup of pasta water.

Step 2: Sear the Steak
While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the steak strips with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Add steak to the hot skillet and cook for about 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Alfredo Sauce
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add butter.
Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir.
Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 2–3 minutes.
Stir in the Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses until melted and smooth.
Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).

Step 4: Combine Everything
Add the cooked pasta and steak strips back into the skillet.
Toss everything together gently, coating the pasta and steak with the creamy sauce.
If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen it.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy every creamy, steak-filled bite!

Tips for Perfect Steak Alfredo
Use Good Steak – Sirloin, ribeye, or New York strip work best for juicy, tender bites.
Cook Steak First – Searing the steak first locks in flavor and keeps it tender.
Don’t Overheat the Sauce – Keep the heat low to prevent the sauce from separating.
Save Pasta Water – It’s perfect for adjusting the sauce consistency if needed.

Serving Suggestions
Garlic Bread – Perfect for soaking up every bit of the creamy sauce.
Steamed Broccoli – Adds a fresh, healthy side to balance the richness.
Simple Side Salad – A light salad with lemon vinaigrette pairs beautifully.
Roasted Asparagus – Easy and elegant side for a special meal.

How to Store & Reheat Storing:
Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Reheating:
Stovetop: Reheat gently over low heat with a splash of cream or milk to bring the sauce back to life.
Microwave: Warm in 30-second intervals, stirring between each.
