Ingredients

  • 16-20 oz Sirloin or Ribeye Steak Room temperature
  • 1 tbsp Avocado Oil
  • 1 tbsp Montreal Steak Seasoning (or equal parts ground salt, pepper, garlic, and paprika)
  • 12 oz Fettucine Cooked al dente
  • 3 cups Baby Spinach Torn in half
  • 1.5 cups Cherry Tomatoes Halved
  • 3 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1 tbsp Parsley Fresh (save some stems for garnish)
  • 2 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese Freshly Grated
  • 2 cup Milk
  • Salt & Pepper to Taste
  • 1/4 cup Balsamic Glaze Garnish

Instructions

Boil the Pasta

  • Bring a pot of water to boil and cook 12 ounces of fettuccine according to package directions. I usually add a tablespoon of olive or avocado oil and a tsp of salt to the boiling water when I cook pasta. You want the pasta to be al dente – still firm, but not chewy or hard.
  • Reserve a cup of pasta water, drain the remaining water and set pasta aside.

Prepare the Steak

  • While the pasta is cooking, coat your steaks in avocado oil and rub with 1 tbsp Montreal seasoning
  • Air fry your steaks on 400 degrees for about 5 minutes per side (medium rare). Y- minutes for medium. You can also pan fry them, but I find that the air fryer cooks them perfectly every time and is less messy.

Make the Sauce

  • Melt 2 tbsps butter in a large frying pan over low-medium heat. Add 3 cloves garlic, cook in butter for 2-3 minutes.
  • Slowly add the 2 tbsps flour, stirring frequently for 3-5 minutes. Add 2 cups milk and 1/2 cup parmesan cheese. Bring to a simmer.

Put it all Together

  • Add the pasta, 3 cups torn baby spinach, 1.5 cups halved cherry tomatoes, and tbsp of fresh Parsley to the frying pan.
  • Stir until the spinach and cherry tomatoes cook down.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste
  • Once the pasta is done, slice the steak into thin slices and serve on top of a plate of pasta. Drizzle with balsamic glaze, add a couple parsley sprigs (optional), and enjoy!
