A comforting dish featuring fettuccine pasta coated in a creamy pepper jack garlic butter sauce with tender slices of sirloin steak.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 1 lb sirloin steak, thinly sliced
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Start by boiling water in a large pot. Once it reaches a rolling boil, add 8 oz of fettuccine pasta and cook according to the package instructions. Once al dente, drain and set aside.
  2. Brown the Steak: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tbsp of unsalted butter. Season the 1 lb of thinly sliced sirloin steak with salt and pepper. Cook in the hot skillet until beautifully browned, about 4-5 minutes. Once done, remove the steak and set it aside to rest.
  3. Sauté the Garlic: To the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tbsp of butter and the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Be careful not to let it burn!
  4. Make the Cream Sauce: Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in 1 cup of shredded pepper jack cheese, mixing until it’s completely melted and the sauce is creamy.
  5. Combine it All: Toss the cooked fettuccine pasta and the browned steak into the creamy sauce. Stir well to ensure everything is coated. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Finish by garnishing your dish with chopped fresh parsley and, if desired, a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes for an extra kick.

Notes

Pairs well with a crisp green salad or garlic bread. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days, reheating gently.
