Description
Creamy Steak Pasta is a delightful dish that combines tender steak with a rich and creamy sauce, perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz pasta (fettuccine, penne, or your choice)
- 1 lb sirloin steak (or ribeye, sliced into thin strips)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
- Bring salted water to a boil in a large pot.
- Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water.
- Season the sliced steak with salt and pepper.
- Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the steak strips and sear for about 3–4 minutes, or until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the minced garlic to the same skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and beef broth, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 3–5 minutes, or until it thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the cooked pasta and seared steak to the skillet, tossing to coat them in the creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
- Serve the creamy steak pasta immediately, garnished with fresh chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
Notes
Use a good quality cut of beef for the best flavor and customize the sauce with extra spices for enhanced flavor.
