Ingredients
12 oz fettuccine
1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
8 oz Velveeta cheese, diced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season steak with salt and black pepper. Sear for 3–4 minutes per side until browned. Transfer to a plate and let rest.
2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook fettuccine until al dente, about 8–10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water and drain the rest.
3. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and melt butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
4. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Add diced Velveeta and stir until melted and the sauce is smooth. If it thickens too much, add reserved pasta water as needed.
5. Add cooked fettuccine to the sauce and toss until fully coated. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
6. Slice rested steak thinly against the grain. Plate pasta and top with steak slices. Garnish with Parmesan and parsley if desired.
7. Serve hot and enjoy the creamy, savory indulgence.
Notes
Use freshly grated Parmesan for best flavor.
Resting the steak is essential to keep it juicy.
For a touch of spice, add red pepper flakes to the sauce.
