Steak Sunday, a reliable Tradition!

There’s nothing It is satisfying to more than a evenly cooked steak when it comes to proteins. Although, I’ll say this baked chicken is right up there with it!

I’ve shared before that we do something fun in my home called “Steak Sunday,” where we grill steaks every Sunday. I know, the name is very on the nose.

Even in the middle of winter, we’re out there grilling! My whole family loves it, and it’s become one of a reliable little traditions. We switch up the sides every week, but roasted sweet potatoes almost always make an appearance.

The most popular way we’ve served the steaks lately? Over a big bed of fettuccine alfredo. I honestly don’t think anything compares to evenly cooked steak over creamy pasta. It’s SO GOOD.

Over the years, after trying all kinds of cuts, I always come back to flat iron. It has incredible flavor and is so affordable. Season it well, cook it to medium-rare, let it rest, then slice it thin against the grain, and it’s really such a great steak.

All the ingredients in this recipe prepped out for straightforward assembly including the steak, butter, oil, cream, seasonings, fettuccine, parsley, and parmesan.
