Ingredients

Steak and Seasoning

  • 2 lbs steak (filet, ribeye, sirloin, or your choice), cut into 2-3″ pieces
  • 2 tablespoons steak seasoning, divided (reserve 2 teaspoons for sauce)
  • 45 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 6 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 10 cloves garlic, minced and divided

Pasta

  • 1 lb dry fettuccine noodles

Alfredo Sauce

  • 1.5 cups heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup half and half
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 green onions, diced (white and green parts)
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare Steak: Cut the steak into 2-3 inch pieces. Rub them with avocado oil and season liberally with steak seasoning, reserving 2 teaspoons of the seasoning for the Alfredo sauce.
  2. Cook Steak: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 3 tablespoons of avocado oil. Add the steak pieces and cook for a few minutes per side, flipping only once, until your preferred doneness is reached (see notes for steak temperature guidelines).
  3. Make Garlic Butter: Remove steak from skillet and set aside in a bowl. Reduce heat to low and add 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Coat Steak in Garlic Butter: Return the cooked steak to the skillet, tossing it in the garlic butter sauce. Set the coated steak aside back into the bowl and cover loosely with tented foil to keep warm.
  5. Cook Pasta: While the steak rests, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine noodles according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
  6. Make Alfredo Sauce: In the same skillet with the residual butter, add remaining 4 tablespoons butter and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant. Add the heavy cream, half and half, and the reserved 2 teaspoons of steak seasoning. Let the mixture simmer and reduce for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Finish Sauce: Add grated Parmesan cheese to the simmering cream sauce and whisk until smooth and thickened. Remove the pan from heat and stir in diced green onions. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  8. Toss Pasta with Sauce: Add the drained fettuccine noodles into the Alfredo sauce. Toss well to coat the noodles evenly with the creamy sauce.
  9. Serve: Plate the pasta and top with the garlic butter-coated steak bites. Garnish with extra green onions and Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Steak seasoning can be made with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika for a flavorful blend.
  • Steak doneness guide: Rare (120°F), Medium Rare (130°F), Medium (140°F), Medium Well (150°F), Well Done (160°F).
  • Avocado oil is used for its high smoke point, but you can substitute with other high-heat oils like grapeseed or canola oil.
  • For a lighter sauce, reduce butter slightly or use lower-fat dairy options.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for best melting and flavor in the Alfredo sauce.
  • Leftover steak can be refrigerated separately and reheated gently before tossing with pasta.
