Velveeta Steak Fettuccine with Garlic Butter Cream Sauce is what happens when indulgence meets weeknight practicality. This creamy, garlicky fettuccine is loaded with melty Velveeta cheese and topped with tender, juicy slices of seared steak. The sauce is rich but silky, thanks to the marriage of butter, garlic, and a splash of cream that smooths everything into decadent harmony.

Whether you’re cooking for your family or impressing someone special, this steak pasta dish is comforting, bold, and absolutely unforgettable. And because it uses Velveeta, it delivers a nostalgic creamy texture that clings to every ribbon of pasta. Add a generous shower of parsley and Parmesan on top, and you’ve got yourself a knockout dinner.

What Kind of Steak Should I Use?

Ribeye is an ideal cut for this recipe—its marbling melts into the meat, keeping it tender and flavorful with a perfect sear. However, sirloin or New York strip work beautifully too. Just slice the steak thinly against the grain after cooking for that melt-in-your-mouth experience.

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

Step 1: Prepare the Steak

Pat the steak dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a hot skillet over medium-high heat and sear the steak for 3–4 minutes per side (depending on thickness) until your desired doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.

Step 2: Cook the Fettuccine

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook fettuccine until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain and set the noodles aside.

Step 3: Build the Garlic Butter Base

In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 4: Melt the Velveeta

Lower the heat and add cubed Velveeta cheese and heavy cream to the garlic butter. Stir until fully melted and smooth. Add a bit of pasta water to adjust the consistency if needed.

Step 5: Toss and Combine

Add the cooked fettuccine into the sauce and toss until evenly coated. Stir in grated Parmesan and a sprinkle of parsley.

Step 6: Plate and Serve

Divide the cheesy fettuccine among plates. Top each portion with sliced steak. Garnish with more parsley and freshly shaved Parmesan if desired.

Serving and Storing Velveeta Steak Fettuccine

This dish is best served hot and fresh off the stove, when the cheese sauce is silky and the steak is juicy. If you’re storing leftovers, keep the steak and pasta in separate airtight containers. Reheat pasta gently on the stovetop with a splash of cream to bring back its creaminess. Warm the steak briefly in a hot pan to preserve texture.
