Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Cook fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
Reserve ½ cup pasta water, then drain and set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Steak

In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil until hot.
Season steak strips with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
Add steak to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned.
Reduce heat to medium, add butter, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce, and cook for 1 more minute.
Remove steak from the pan and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Alfredo Sauce

In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in heavy cream, whisking constantly.
Stir in Parmesan, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and Italian seasoning.
Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring until smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Combine Everything

Add cooked pasta to the Alfredo sauce, tossing to coat.
If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time.
Return steak to the pan and toss with the pasta.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!

Garnish with extra Parmesan, fresh parsley, and crushed black pepper.
Serve hot with garlic bread or a side salad.

Notes

Use High-Quality Steak – Ribeye or sirloin gives the best texture and flavor.
Don’t Burn the Garlic – Cook on low heat for a fragrant, mild flavor.
For a Lighter Sauce – Use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
For Extra Spice – Add a pinch of cayenne or a splash of hot sauce.
