Ingredients
Scale
Steak
- 1 pound sirloin or ribeye, cut into bite-sized pieces
Shrimp
- 1 pound fresh or frozen shrimp, peeled and deveined
Fettuccine Pasta
- 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
Alfredo Sauce
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Cooking Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by gathering all your ingredients and prepping them. Chop the steak into bite-sized pieces, peel and devein the shrimp, and mince the garlic. This will make the cooking process smooth and efficient.
- Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a bit of the pasta water for later.
- Sear the Steak: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steak pieces and season with salt and pepper. Sear them for about 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked to your liking. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Shrimp: In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed and toss in the shrimp along with minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove and set aside with the steak.
- Make the Alfredo Sauce: Lower the heat to medium and pour in the heavy cream, stirring gently. Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
- Combine Everything: Add the cooked fettuccine to the sauce, tossing to coat the noodles evenly. Finally, mix in the cooked steak and shrimp, ensuring everything is well combined and heated through.
Notes
- Use high-quality steak and fresh shrimp for the best flavor.
- Keep an eye on the shrimp and steak to avoid overcooking.
- If the sauce thickens too much, add more pasta water to loosen it up.
- Freshly grated Parmesan melts better than pre-grated.
- Adjust salt, pepper, and spice levels according to your preference.
