Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb (454 g) eye of round steaks (or your preferred cut)
- 12 ounces (340 g) rotini noodles, uncooked
- 2 ½ cups (590 ml) heavy cream
- ⅔ cup (75 g) shredded parmesan cheese
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon Montreal steak spices
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Cooking Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
- ¼ cup (57 g) butter
- 3 tablespoons garlic puree
Instructions
- Prepare rotini pasta according to package instructions, then drain and set aside in a colander.
- Coat both sides of the steaks with oil, then generously sprinkle with steak spice.
- Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it’s thoroughly heated.
- Place seasoned steaks into the hot skillet, allowing them to sear and develop a rich, caramelized exterior.
- Cook steaks for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, using an instant-read thermometer to ensure perfect medium-rare doneness at 130-135°F.
- Remove steaks from skillet, transfer to a cutting board, and tent with aluminum foil to retain warmth and juiciness.
- Quickly wipe the skillet with a paper towel to eliminate any burnt remnants, then reduce heat to medium.
- Melt butter in the skillet, then immediately add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
- Pour heavy cream into the skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper, then bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Allow cream sauce to simmer and thicken for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce heat to low and introduce cooked rotini noodles, thoroughly coating them in the creamy sauce.
- Sprinkle shredded parmesan into the skillet, stirring until completely melted and integrated.
- Slice the rested steaks against the grain into thin, elegant strips.
- Distribute the creamy pasta onto serving plates and artfully arrange steak slices on top.
- Serve immediately while the dish is piping hot and enjoy the luxurious combination of flavors.
Notes
- Perfectly cook steak to medium-rare for tender, juicy meat using an instant-read thermometer targeting 130-135°F.
- Wipe skillet clean after searing steaks to prevent burnt flavor and ensure smooth Alfredo sauce preparation.
- Use fresh garlic puree for more intense, authentic flavor compared to pre-minced or powdered alternatives.
- Allow cream sauce to boil and thicken naturally before adding cheese to create a rich, silky texture.
- Shred parmesan cheese yourself for superior melting and more robust taste than pre-packaged options.
- Rest steaks under foil after cooking to help retain moisture and redistribute internal juices for maximum tenderness.
