Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz fettuccine or penne pasta
- 1 lb ribeye or sirloin steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine or penne according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve about half a cup of pasta water before draining.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a splash of oil. Once hot, add the sliced steak seasoned with salt and pepper. Sear until browned but tender—about 3-4 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, lower heat slightly and add minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant—about 30 seconds.
- Reduce heat further and stir in heavy cream, bringing it gently to a simmer. Gradually whisk in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
- Return the seared steak to the skillet along with cooked pasta. Toss everything together, adding reserved pasta water as needed for desired creaminess.
- Plate your creamy steak pasta masterpiece! Garnish with extra Parmesan and freshly cracked black pepper if desired.
