Description
Creamy Steak Pasta Garlic is a quick, filling pasta dish made with tender sliced steak, garlic, and a rich parmesan cream sauce. It comes together fast and works well for weeknight dinners or casual meals with guests.
Ingredients
12 oz fettuccine or penne pasta
1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, thinly sliced
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup beef broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Fresh parsley, chopped
Extra grated parmesan, for serving
Instructions
1. Cook pasta in a large pot of salted water according to package directions. Drain and reserve 1/2 cup pasta water.
2. Season steak with salt and black pepper.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear steak until browned and cooked to desired doneness, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove steak and set aside.
4. Reduce heat to medium and add butter to the skillet. Once melted, add garlic and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant.
5. Pour in beef broth and scrape up any browned bits from the pan. Simmer for 2 minutes.
6. Stir in heavy cream and parmesan cheese. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring, until sauce thickens. Add crushed red pepper flakes if using.
7. Add cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat. Use reserved pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce.
8. Return steak to the skillet and gently combine.
9. Serve immediately topped with fresh parsley and extra parmesan if desired.
Notes
Slice steak thin and against the grain for best tenderness. If reheating leftovers, add a splash of cream or water to loosen the sauce.
