Description

A delicious and hearty dish combining tender steak and creamy garlic sauce with pasta, all cooked in one pot.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb steak (sirloin or ribeye), cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons butter (divided)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 8 oz rotini pasta (or any short pasta)
  • 2.53 cups water or broth
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak pieces, season with salt and pepper, and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter. Stir in garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Simmer for 3–4 minutes.
  4. Stir in the parmesan until melted into the sauce.
  5. Add the uncooked pasta and water or broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover. Simmer for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Once the pasta is al dente and the sauce has thickened, return the steak (and its juices) to the skillet. Stir to coat everything in the sauce.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish with parsley and more parmesan if desired.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • This dish is versatile; feel free to adjust the level of spice according to your preference.
