Pan-Seared Steak
Creamy Fettuccine
Indulge in a perfect pairing of tender, buttery medium-rare steak and velvety parmesan fettuccine, all brought together in one pan for ultimate flavor.
This dish elevates the classic steak and pasta combination by using the pan drippings from the steak to form the base of an incredibly rich cream sauce. By searing the steak with fresh garlic and rosemary, those aromatic oils infuse directly into the pasta, creating a cohesive and luxurious meal. It is a sophisticated dinner that feels like a restaurant creation but can be prepared in your own kitchen in just thirty minutes.
Ingredients
- 400 g fettuccine pasta
- 2 steak fillets
- 200 ml heavy cream
- 50 g parmesan cheese
- 1 head of garlic
- 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley
Instructions
- 1Sear the seasoned steak
Place the seasoned raw steak into a preheated hot pan. Allow the surface to develop a deep, golden-brown crust, locking in the juices and flavor.
Tip: Ensure the pan is sufficiently hot before adding the steak to get a good sear. - 2Baste with aromatics
Add a whole head of garlic and fresh rosemary sprigs to the pan with the steak. Spoon the melting butter over the steak continuously to infuse it with the garlic and herbal flavors.
Tip: Basting helps cook the steak evenly while imparting rich flavor into the meat. - 3Create the cream sauce
Pour heavy cream directly into the pan with the flavorful steak drippings. Add grated parmesan cheese and whisk continuously until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth.
Tip: Use the brown bits at the bottom of the pan to add depth to your cream sauce. - 4Coat the noodles
Add your cooked wide noodles into the creamy sauce in the pan. Toss the noodles thoroughly until every strand is evenly coated in the rich, velvety sauce.
Tip: Toss gently to avoid breaking the noodles while ensuring full coverage. - 5Plate the pasta
Using metal tongs, carefully transfer the creamy coated pasta onto a serving plate. Arrange it neatly to create an inviting base for the steak.
Tip: Twisting the noodles as you plate them creates an elegant, professional look.
