Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

- Cut flank steak in 6 equal parts and season generously with blackening seasoning.
- In a 6 qt. saucepot, melt butter over medium-high heat, add garlic, and cook until fragrant.
- Add flour and cook, stirring often, for 5-7 min or until flour smells a little nutty. Slowly whisk in heavy cream and milk and allow to come to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 10-15 min to allow sauce to thicken.
- Add in sundried tomatoes, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and sugar and cook for 2-3 min, then add in parmesan cheese and stir for 2-3 min to make sure all is incorporated and melted.
- Finish sauce by topping with fresh basil and parsley and remove from heat, allowing the sauce to set while steaks are being cooked.
- Heat a cast iron skillet to almost smoking hot.
- Rub each seasoned piece of steak with a little oil or pan spray and place in hot skillet, cooking each steak for 2-3 min per side, or until a nice blackened crust has formed.
- Place finished pieces on a baking pan and place in pre-heated oven for an additional 8 minutes.
- Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing thin and against the grain for maximum tenderness.
- Toss Fettucine noodles with finished sauce and serve with sliced flank steak and enjoy!
For the Blackening Seasoning:
- Mix all ingredients and store in air-tight container.
