Ingredients for One Pan Velvety Honey BBQ Steak Fettuccine

Here’s everything you’ll need to make this delicious dish (exact measurements are in the recipe card below):

Main Ingredients:

• 1 lb steak (flank or sirloin, sliced thin): A tender, flavorful cut of steak that cooks quickly and pairs perfectly with the creamy sauce.
• 12 oz fettuccine pasta: Holds onto the rich, velvety sauce beautifully.

For the Sauce:

• 1 cup beef broth: Adds depth and enhances the steak’s natural flavor.
• 1/2 cup heavy cream: Makes the sauce rich and creamy.
• 1/4 cup honey BBQ sauce: Brings a sweet, smoky kick to the dish.

For Seasoning:

• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese: Provides a nutty, salty richness to the sauce.
• 1/2 tsp onion powder: Adds a mild, savory undertone to the dish.
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder: A classic flavor to complement the steak and sauce.
• 2 tbsp olive oil: Used for searing the steak and cooking the pasta.
• Salt & pepper, to taste: Balances all the flavors and enhances the seasoning.

For Garnish (optional):

How to Make One Pan Velvety Honey BBQ Steak Fettuccine

1. Prepare the Ingredients

• Slice the steak: Start by thinly slicing your steak against the grain. This helps it cook quickly and evenly.
• Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

2. Sear the Steak

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan.
• Cook the steak: Add the sliced steak to the skillet and season with salt, pepper, and onion powder. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove the steak from the pan and set it aside.

3. Make the Sauce

• In the same skillet, add the beef broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan—this is where all the flavor is!
• Add the heavy cream and honey BBQ sauce. Stir to combine and bring it to a simmer. Let the sauce cook for about 3-4 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

4. Combine the Steak and Pasta

• Return the steak to the skillet, along with the cooked fettuccine. Toss everything together, ensuring the pasta and steak are fully coated in the creamy sauce.
• Stir in Parmesan cheese: Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until it melts into the sauce, making it extra creamy and flavorful.

Serving and Decoration

5. Serve the Dish

Once everything is combined, serve immediately in bowls or on plates. You can add a sprinkle of chopped parsley for a fresh, vibrant finish. This dish is perfect on its own, but you can also pair it with a side of garlic bread or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

6. Garnish and Enjoy

If you want to add a little extra flair, sprinkle some additional Parmesan cheese over the top. It’s optional but adds even more flavor to this already irresistible dish.

Storing One Pan Velvety Honey BBQ Steak Fettuccine

• Leftovers: If you have leftovers (which I highly doubt), store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of beef broth or cream to keep it creamy.
• Make-Ahead Tip: You can prepare the steak and sauce ahead of time, then simply combine with freshly cooked pasta when you’re ready to eat. This is great for meal prep!

Tips and Tricks for Success

• Sear the Steak Properly: Don’t overcrowd the pan when searing the steak. If needed, cook the steak in batches to ensure it gets a nice, even sear.
• Adjust the Sauce: If you prefer a richer sauce, feel free to add more heavy cream or Parmesan cheese.
• Customize the Heat: If you like a bit of spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to the sauce for a kick.
