Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add plenty of salt.
Heat your grill pan or charcoal grill on high until hot.
Grill your steak until your desired doneness. I shoot for medium. Use the touch test or an internal thermometer. Set steak aside to rest.
Cook the pasta according to package directions. Stop cooking the pasta 1 to 2 minutes short of the package recommendation.
16 ounces Fettuccini Noodles
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan or skillet saute the minced garlic in butter over medium heat. Do not brown the garlic.
½ cup Butter, 2-3 cloves Garlic
Add cream to the butter/garlic mixture. Season with nutmeg, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream, ¼ teaspoon Nutmeg, ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt, ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
Grate the parmesan cheese into a large pasta bowl. Set half aside for adding on top.
8 ounces Parmesan Cheese
Pour the warm butter/cream mixture into the large bowl over the top of the cheese.
To make saving your pasta water easier, use tongs to remove the pasta and place it immediately into the bowl. Toss a couple of times, then sprinkle in the other half of the parmesan. Toss to combine.
If your sauce is too thick, thin it with a few splashes of hot pasta water.
Slice the steak and serve immediately with fettuccini alfredo.
Hint: Save your pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency for the leftovers before refrigerating. Thinning the sauce a bit before refrigerating helps it reheat better.
