Tips for the Best Creamy Garlic Steak Alfredo
- Choose the Right Steak: Sirloin or ribeye work best for tender, juicy bites.
- Don’t Overcook the Steak: For the best flavor, cook steak to medium or medium-rare.
- Use Fresh Parmesan: Pre-grated cheese won’t melt as smoothly.
- Make it Lighter: Swap half-and-half for the heavy cream to cut some richness.
Storage Instructions
- Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat: Warm in a skillet over low heat with a splash of milk to loosen the sauce.
- Freeze: Not recommended, as the sauce may separate when reheated.
