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)
- 2.5–3 cups water or broth
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- 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.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter. Stir in garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Simmer for 3–4 minutes.
- Stir in the parmesan until melted into the sauce.
- Add the uncooked pasta and water or broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover. Simmer for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- 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.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish with parsley and more parmesan if desired.
- Serve hot and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- This dish is versatile; feel free to adjust the level of spice according to your preference.
- You can substitute the steak with chicken or shrimp for a different protein option.
- Serve with a side salad for a complete meal.
