Description
A simple recipe for pasta tossed with seared steak and a garlic butter sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 12 ounces pasta (fettuccine or linguine recommended)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water before draining.
- Season steak pieces generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes. Remove steak from the skillet and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
- Pour in beef broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Add the drained pasta and the cooked steak back to the skillet. Toss to coat.
- Stir in Parmesan cheese and a few tablespoons of the reserved pasta water until a light sauce forms. Add more water if needed for desired consistency.
- Stir in chopped parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, use fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary when searing the steak.
- You can substitute the sirloin steak with flank steak or ribeye.
