Ingredients

• 2 beef steaks (about 8 oz each, ribeye or sirloin)
• 8 oz fettuccine or your favorite pasta
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley or basil for garnish
• Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)

How to Make Grilled Beef Steak with Creamy Pasta

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season both sides of the beef steaks with salt and pepper.
2. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
3. While the pasta cooks, grill the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
4. Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
5. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
6. Add the heavy cream to the skillet, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer, then gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
7. Toss the cooked pasta in the creamy sauce until well-coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. To serve, place a generous portion of the creamy pasta on each plate, top with sliced grilled steak, and garnish with fresh herbs. Serve with lemon wedges on the side if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Let the beef rest after grilling to keep it juicy.
• Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and texture.
• Adjust the garlic according to your taste; you can add more for a stronger flavor.
• If you want a lighter sauce, consider substituting half of the heavy cream with chicken broth.

Easy Variations

• Swap the beef for chicken or shrimp for a different protein option.
• Add sautéed vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers to the pasta for extra nutrition and flavor.
• For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes to the creamy sauce.

What to Serve With It

• A simple green salad with vinaigrette
• Garlic bread or a crusty baguette
• Roasted vegetables for a colorful side
• A glass of red wine, like Cabernet Sauvignon, pairs nicely with the beef

Leftover steak can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave, adding a splash of water or broth to keep it moist. The creamy pasta can also be stored for the same duration; just note that the sauce may thicken upon refrigeration.
