How to Make One-Skillet Spicy Garlic Butter Parmesan Steak Pasta

Let’s dive into the step-by-step instructions to create this flavor-packed, one-skillet wonder:

Sear the Steak

Start by seasoning the steak slices with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the steak until it’s nicely browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.

Sauté the Garlic

In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, then sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and delightful.

Cook the Pasta

Next, add the spaghetti or linguine directly to the skillet, followed by the beef broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and the broth is mostly absorbed.

Add the Cheese and Steak

Stir in the Parmesan cheese until it’s melted and the sauce is creamy. Finally, return the seared steak to the skillet and toss everything together, ensuring the flavors meld beautifully.</

Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle the dish with chopped fresh parsley and additional Parmesan, if desired. Serve this One-Skillet Spicy Garlic Butter Parmesan Steak Pasta hot and enjoy the bold, indulgent flavors that will have your taste buds doing a happy dance!

Tips for Perfecting Your One-Skillet Spicy Garlic Butter Parmesan Steak Pasta

To take your dish to the next level, consider these helpful tips:

Adjust the Spice Level

Love the heat? Increase the amount of red pepper flakes to kick up the spice factor. For a milder version, use less or omit the flakes altogether.

Cook the Pasta Al Dente

Be sure to not overcook the pasta, as you want it to maintain a nice, firm texture that can stand up to the rich, creamy sauce.

Dietary Variations

For a gluten-free option, use your favorite gluten-free pasta. And if you’re looking for a vegetarian alternative, try substituting the steak with sautéed mushrooms or roasted vegetables.

Storing and Reheating

Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. When ready to enjoy, simply reheat the pasta in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of broth or milk to revive the creamy texture.

FAQs for One-Skillet Spicy Garlic Butter Parmesan Steak Pasta

1. What ingredients do I need to make One-Skillet Spicy Garlic Butter Parmesan Steak Pasta?

To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

Pasta of your choice (e.g., fettuccine or spaghetti)
Steak (sirloin or ribeye works well)
Garlic
Butter
Parmesan cheese
Red pepper flakes (for spice)
Olive oil
Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Salt and pepper to taste

2. Can I use a different type of meat instead of steak?

Yes, you can substitute steak with other proteins such as chicken, shrimp, or even a plant-based alternative like tofu or tempeh. Just adjust the cooking time based on the protein you choose to ensure it is cooked through.

3. How do I make the pasta creamy in this recipe?

To achieve a creamy texture, you can reserve some of the pasta cooking water and add it to the skillet with the sauce. The starch from the pasta water helps to thicken the sauce and create a creamy consistency. Additionally, make sure to incorporate the Parmesan cheese fully, as it also contributes to the creaminess.

4. Can I make this dish ahead of time?

While this dish is best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare certain components ahead of time. Cook the pasta and steak separately, then store them in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to serve, simply reheat them in the skillet with the garlic butter sauce. However, keep in mind that pasta may become a bit softer when reheated.
