A rich and flavorful pasta dish with tender steak and bell peppers in a creamy garlic Parmesan sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz fettuccine
  • 1 lb sirloin steak (or ribeye), cut into bite-size strips
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter, divided
  • 1 orange bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup beef broth (or pasta water)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (plus more to taste)
  • 1 tsp coarse black pepper (plus more for serving)
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook fettuccine until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
  2. Sear the steak: Pat steak dry and season with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak 2–3 minutes per side until browned (cook in batches if needed). Transfer to a plate.
  3. Sauté the peppers: In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp butter. Toss in bell peppers and cook 3–4 minutes until slightly softened. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.
  4. Make it creamy: Pour in heavy cream and beef broth (or reserved pasta water). Stir in Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes (if using). Simmer 2–3 minutes.
  5. Add Parmesan: Reduce heat to low and whisk in Parmesan until smooth and glossy.
  6. Toss & finish: Add cooked fettuccine and steak back into the skillet. Toss to coat. Taste and adjust salt/pepper. Top with parsley and extra black pepper.

Notes

  • Use fresh Parmesan for the best flavor.
  • Let steak rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes for desired spice level.
