How to Make Steak and Shrimp Alfredo
1. Cook the Pasta and Broccoli
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Cook fettuccine according to package instructions. Add broccoli during the last 2 minutes of boiling. Drain and set aside.
2. Sear the Steak
Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat.
Add olive oil, then sear steaks for 3–4 minutes per side until desired doneness.
Reduce heat, add butter, garlic, and thyme. Baste steaks for 1 minute.
Remove from skillet and let rest before slicing.
3. Cook the Shrimp
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
Add shrimp, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook 1–2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
4. Make the Alfredo Sauce
Lower heat to medium-low.
Add butter and garlic, sauté 30 seconds.
Pour in heavy cream and simmer 3–4 minutes.
Whisk in Parmesan cheese until smooth and creamy.
5. Combine Everything
Add cooked pasta and broccoli to the sauce. Toss to coat.
Top with sliced steak and shrimp. Garnish with parsley.
