Easy Creamy Steak Fettuccine Alfredo

Pasta is a universal love and this creamy Steak Fettuccine Alfredo is the perfect thing to enjoy for a date night in. It is easy to make, velvety smooth and absolutely dreamy!

I have never met anyone who didn’t enjoy a big bowl of fettuccine alfredo. Top it off with perfectly seared venison steak and it is irresistible. It is the ultimate comfort meal that is still beautiful and worthy of any occasion.

Making this Steak Fettuccine Alfredo is so simple. Start by boiling your pasta. This can be store bought or homemade. Then, you make a simple roux, with some garlic, stir in milk and fresh parmesan to get the most creamy alfredo sauce. Finish it off with any kind of beef or wild game steak you have seared medium rare and you will be in heaven!

What I love about this alfredo pasta is that it uses a roux to thicken the sauce so that it can be made with milk instead of heavy cream. This gives you that luxurious silky sauce but keeps it lighter! It is delicious fresh but also as leftover. You can have it made in under thirty minutes so it is perfect for any night of the week.

Tips for Making Steak Fettuccine Alfredo

1. Always prep the sauce ingredients in advance. Once you start the sauce, it goes pretty quickly so I like to grate my cheese and measure out all the ingredients so they are just ready to add.
2. When you are adding in the cheese, you want to do so slowly. One handful at a time is best, making sure to whisk until all the cheese is melted before adding more. This will ensure you get a nice silky smooth sauce.
3. While the pasta cooks, I always recommend scooping out some of the pasta water, and reserving it for later. This will be used to help loosen the sauce at the end and give you that perfect texture that sticks to the noodles but is still saucy.

Steak Fettuccine Alfredo Ingredients

Pasta– Use any kind of fettuccine you like. If you like to make homemade pasta I highly recommend it for this recipe. If you are gluten free, use a gluten free pasta.

Steak– Any kind of steak you like works. Beef, venison, moose, elk etc.

Parmesan Cheese– This is a main component of alfredo sauce. Make sure you don’t use pre grated. It does not melt nice and smooth.

Milk– I used milk instead of heavy cream in this recipe to keep it less rich. Whole milk is best.

Butter– Salted or unsalted is fine.

Flour- All purpose flour is all you need. Can sub with a 1 to 1 gluten free flour if necessary.

Garlic– Fresh minced garlic adds the perfect flavor.

Parsley– This is mainly used as garnish but it adds a bright flavor on top so I highly recommend.

The Steps

1. Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil.
2. Once boiling, add in the pasta and cook for about 7 minutes or until al dente, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water before draining the pasta.
3. While the pasta cooks, add the butter to a sauce pan over medium low heat.
4. Once the butter has melted, add in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes.
5. Then add in the flour and whisk to make the roux.
6. Next, you are going to slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly. It with get thick and seem glumpy in the beginning. Just keep whisking and pouring in all the milk.
7. Once the milk is all in, turn it up to medium heat, and allow the mixture to come to a simmering bowl.
8. Remove the pan from the heat, and whisk in the parmesan cheese, one handful at a time making sure the cheese is fully melted before adding another handful.
9. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to your liking, then slowly whisk in the 1/2 cup of reserved pasta water.
10. Finally, season the steaks on all sides with salt and pepper. Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat with a couple tbsp of butter.
11. Add the steaks to the hot pan and sear for 3-5 minutes per side depending on the thickness.
12. Remove the steaks at 120F internal temp for rare or 130F for medium rare.
13. Allow the steaks to rest for about 7 minutes before slicing.
14. To serve, spoon the pasta into bowls, top with fresh ground pepper, some chopped parsley and the sliced steak. Enjoy!
