Description
A comforting dish featuring tender steak and a rich, creamy garlic Parmesan sauce over pasta, perfect for family gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 6 oz each)
- 12 oz dry pasta (fettuccine or spaghetti)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 garlic cloves, finely minced
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup beef broth (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- ¼ cup fresh chopped parsley or basil (for garnish)
Instructions
- Boil the pasta in salted water until al dente. Drain and save ½ cup of pasta water. Set aside.
- Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the steak for 4–5 minutes per side. Rest, then slice thinly.
- In the same pan, melt butter and add garlic. Stir in the beef broth (if using) and let it reduce slightly.
- Pour in the heavy cream, then mix in the Parmesan cheese until melted. Season with additional salt and red pepper flakes if using.
- Toss the cooked pasta into the sauce, using reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce if needed. Add the sliced steak and stir gently to combine.
- Plate the pasta and top with sliced steak. Garnish with fresh herbs and extra grated Parmesan.
Notes
Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for a smoother melting sauce. Adjust seasoning to your taste throughout cooking.
