Steak Fettuccine with Spicy Cream Sauce
A few months ago I did a cooking demonstration. I used their cooking equipment and one of the skillets I used was the 11 ¾" Le Creuset Cast Iron Skillet. Turns out, it is my dream skillet and I have been thinking about it since that day.
The day this gorgeous skillet arrived at my doorstep was a very good day. No other skillet can compare in searing a steak than cast iron and I cook a lot of steaks. So of course that is the first thing I cooked in my new skillet. I spiced up the steaks, seared them and made a wonderful, creamy pan sauce, added some fettuccine and with the sliced up steak it really hit the spot.
Father's Day is this weekend and this is a meal any Dad would love! It's also ready in about 30 minutes, how can you beat that? Another thing I love about this skillet is how easy it is to clean, I mean easy. After searing the steaks and cooking the cream sauce, clean up was a snap, I didn't even need a scrub brush. EASY.
