Description
Creamy steak pasta is a dish that combines the best of both worlds – tender, juicy steak and a decadent, velvety sauce that coats every bite. With a few simple ingredients and some easy-to-follow steps, you can create a restaurant-worthy meal right in your own kitchen.
Ingredients
- 1 pound sirloin or ribeye steak
- 2 cup fettuccine or penne pasta
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine or penne according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
2. Prepare the Steak: Season the sirloin or ribeye steak with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the steak for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet, let it rest, and then slice it into thin strips.
3. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer. Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
4. Combine: Add the cooked pasta and sliced steak to the creamy sauce. Toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated.
5. Serve: Plate the creamy steak pasta and garnish with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy every bite of this decadent dish.
Notes
To ensure your creamy steak pasta turns out flawless, here are some tips to keep in mind:
– Sear the Steak Properly: Getting a nice sear on the steak is crucial for developing that rich, beefy flavor.
– Don’t Overcook the Pasta: Be mindful of the pasta cooking time and drain it al dente.
– Adjust the Creaminess: If you prefer a thicker or thinner sauce, you can adjust the amount of heavy cream to suit your taste preferences.
– Timing is Key: Coordinate the cooking of the pasta, steak, and sauce to ensure everything comes together at the perfect moment for maximum flavor and texture.
