Ingredients
400g fettuccine pasta
225g Velveeta cheese, cubed
1 cup heavy cream
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
300g steak (ribeye, sirloin, or flank)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional)
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan (optional)
Instructions
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine until al dente. Drain and reserve ½ cup of pasta water.
2. Season the steak with salt and pepper. Let it rest at room temperature for 20–30 minutes.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for 3–4 minutes per side. Let it rest after cooking.
4. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and melt butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
5. Pour in heavy cream and stir. Add Velveeta and melt gently, stirring until smooth. Use pasta water to adjust consistency.
6. Toss in the cooked fettuccine and coat with sauce. Turn off heat.
7. Slice the rested steak against the grain. Serve over the pasta.
8. Garnish with parsley and Parmesan if desired. Serve hot and enjoy.
Notes
Use fresh garlic for the best flavor—powder just doesn’t compare.
Rest your steak before slicing to keep it juicy and tender.
Don’t skip the pasta water; it’s the secret to a smooth, flexible sauce.
