👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Cook the Pasta

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

2. Add the pasta and cook until al dente — usually 1–2 minutes less than the package directions.

3. Before draining, reserve about ½ cup of pasta water. Set both aside.

2️⃣ Prepare the Steak

1. Pat the steak dry with paper towels — this helps it sear beautifully.

2. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.

3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

4. Sear the steak for 2–3 minutes per side until a golden crust forms.

5. Lower the heat slightly, then add butter, half the garlic, rosemary, and thyme.

6. Tilt the pan and baste the steak continuously with the melted butter for 1–2 minutes per side.

7. Cook to your desired doneness (125°F / 52°C for medium-rare).

8. Transfer to a plate and let it rest for 5–10 minutes.

3️⃣ Make the Alfredo Sauce

1. Pour out most of the butter from the pan, leaving about 1 tbsp.

2. On low heat, sauté the remaining garlic for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.

3. Pour in the heavy cream, scraping up any browned bits from the pan (that’s pure flavor!).

4. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

5. Simmer gently for 1–2 minutes until slightly thickened.

4️⃣ Combine Pasta and Sauce

1. Add the cooked pasta into the sauce with 2–3 tbsp reserved pasta water.

2. Toss or stir for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the pasta.

3. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

5️⃣ Slice and Serve

1. Slice the rested steak into strips.

2. Arrange it on top of the creamy Alfredo pasta.

3. Finish with grated Parmesan and a sprinkle of chopped chives.

💡 Tips

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of chili flakes or nutmeg to the sauce.

• If you prefer a lighter version, swap heavy cream for half-and-half.

• Always rest your steak before slicing — it keeps the juices in!
