Succulent Beef Fettuccine Alfredo: A Classic Italian Comfort Dish with a Creamy Twist
Fettuccine Alfredo is a beloved Italian dish that combines the richness of cream, the savory taste of Parmesan cheese, and the hearty texture of fettuccine pasta. In this tantalizing version, we’ve added succulent beef to elevate this comfort food to a whole new level of deliciousness.
Ingredients:
– 1 lb fettuccine pasta
– 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
– 3 cups heavy cream
– 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Cook the Fettuccine:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Beef:
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the thinly sliced beef and cook until it is browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
3. Make the Alfredo Sauce:
In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce begins to thicken.
4. Incorporate Cheese:
Gradually add the freshly grated Parmesan cheese to the simmering cream, stirring continuously until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
5. Combine Pasta and Beef:
Add the cooked fettuccine and browned beef to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Toss everything together until the pasta and beef are well-coated with the creamy sauce. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
6. Serve:
Transfer the beef fettuccine Alfredo to serving plates and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately while it’s hot and extra creamy.
Enjoy this hearty and comforting beef fettuccine Alfredo, a delightful twist on a classic Italian favorite!
