Ingredients:
2 beef steaks (sirloin or ribeye)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
For the Fettuccine Alfredo:
250g fettuccine pasta
2 tbsp butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the Sautéed Spinach:
2 cups fresh spinach
1 tbsp butter
1 clove garlic, minced
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Steaks:
Season the steaks with salt and pepper.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter, and sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time to your preferred doneness. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
2. Cook the Fettuccine:
Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. Make the Alfredo Sauce:
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
Toss the cooked fettuccine in the Alfredo sauce until fully coated.
4. Sauté the Spinach:
In a separate skillet, melt the butter and sauté the garlic until fragrant.
Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt.
5. Assemble the Dish:
Plate the fettuccine Alfredo as the base.
Top with sliced steak strips and drizzle with any remaining pan juices.
Add the sautéed spinach on the side for a balanced meal.
Garnish with chopped parsley and freshly ground black pepper.
Tips:
Let the steaks rest before slicing to retain their juices.
For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the Alfredo sauce.
Indulge in this rich and creamy dish perfect for a cozy dinner or special occasion!
