Description
A rich and creamy steak pasta dish that elevates any dinner night. Quick enough for busy weeknights, it’s both satisfying and flavorful.
Ingredients
Scale
- 250 g (2 cups) pasta, any shape
- 400 g (14 oz) beef steak, sirloin or ribeye
- 240 ml (1 cup) heavy cream
- 60 g (1/2 cup) grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 250 g (2 cups) of pasta and cook according to package instructions (about 8–10 minutes). Drain reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
- Season 400 g (14 oz) of steak with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and sear for about 3–4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove and let rest.
- Add 2 minced cloves of garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Pour in 240 ml (1 cup) of heavy cream and stir to combine.
- Slice the rested steak thinly. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat. If too thick, add reserved pasta water. Stir in 60 g (1/2 cup) of grated Parmesan cheese until melted. Serve with fresh parsley on top.
Notes
For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream. You can also substitute with coconut cream for a dairy-free option.
