What Kind of Steak Should I Use for Velveeta Steak Fettuccine?

The best steak cuts for this pasta dish are sirloin, ribeye, or New York strip—anything tender and marbled. Cut the steak into bite-sized cubes for quick searing and maximum flavor. For a budget-friendly twist, flank steak or skirt steak also work well if sliced thin against the grain.

Ingredients for the Velveeta Steak Fettuccine with Garlic Butter Cream Sauce

Fettuccine Pasta – Wide, flat noodles perfect for clinging to the creamy cheese sauce.

Steak Bites – Choose tender cuts like sirloin or ribeye. Sear them hot for a flavorful crust.

Velveeta Cheese – The key to smooth, velvety sauce. Melts effortlessly into the butter and cream.

Heavy Cream – Adds rich, creamy body to the sauce and helps blend the cheese.

Butter – Combines with garlic for a flavorful base before adding the cheese.

Garlic – Freshly minced garlic adds depth and bold flavor to the cream sauce.

Olive Oil – Used to sear the steak to golden perfection.

Salt & Pepper – Essential seasoning for both the steak and the sauce.

Fresh Parsley & Parmesan (for garnish) – Optional, but adds freshness and cheesy contrast on top.

How To Make the Velveeta Steak Fettuccine with Garlic Butter Cream Sauce

Step 1: Cook the Fettuccine

Boil a large pot of salted water. Add the fettuccine and cook until al dente according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

Step 2: Sear the Steak Bites

While the pasta cooks, season your steak bites with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak in batches for 2–3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked to your liking. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Garlic Butter Base

Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Cook for 30–60 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly.

Step 4: Create the Cream Sauce

Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer, then add in cubed Velveeta cheese. Stir continuously until fully melted into a creamy, smooth sauce.

Step 5: Combine Pasta and Sauce

Add the drained fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic butter cream sauce. If needed, add a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce.

Step 6: Assemble and Garnish

Plate the creamy fettuccine, top with the seared steak bites, and garnish with fresh parsley and grated parmesan cheese. Serve hot and enjoy every bite.


How to Serve and Store Velveeta Steak Fettuccine

This dish is best served immediately while the sauce is hot and creamy. For a restaurant-style presentation, twirl the fettuccine into a neat nest, top it with the steak, and sprinkle with fresh parsley and grated parmesan.

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a saucepan over low heat with a splash of milk or cream to bring back the smooth consistency. Avoid microwaving the steak to keep it tender—reheat it separately in a skillet if needed.
