  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (I used regular)
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch

Preparation

Step 1

Sequence:
Prepare steak and begin to cook - 5 minutes.
While steak cooks, prepare pasta recipe through step 3-15.
Complete both recipes and serve - 10 minutes

Steak:
Combine butter and cheese in small bowl until blended; set aside. Preheat large saute pan on medium-high 2-3 minutes. Season both sides of steak and salt and pepper.

Place oil in pan; swirl to coat. Add steaks; cook 5-7 minutes on each side or until meat is well-browned and internal temperature reaches l45 degrees (for medium-rare). Remove steak from pan.

Drain excess oil from pan; return pan to heat. Deglaze with wine or broth. Cook 3-4 minutes or until liquid has reduced almost completely.

Return steaks to pan. Add butter mixture; turn steaks until butter melts and steaks are coated. Serve.

Fettuccine:
Combine water and pasta in microwave-safe bowl; cover and microwave on high for 5 minutes.
While pasta cooks, prepare sauce. Melt butter in large saute pan on medium-high. Combine cornstarch and half-and-half in a small bowl until blended and smooth. Stir into melted butter; bring to full boil, whisking often.

Meanwhile, stir pasts to loosen noodles; cover and microwave 1 more minute or until pasta is tender.

Remove sauce from heat; whisk in cheese, salt and pepper until smooth. Drain pasta thoroughly; stir into sauce until blended. Serve.
