Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 to 1.5 inches thick sirloin, ribeye, or flank steak
  • Fettuccine, linguine, or spaghetti pasta
  • 6–8 cloves of fresh garlic, finely minced
  • Olive oil
  • Butter
  • Beef broth
  • Heavy cream
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Coarse salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Take your steak out of the refrigerator about 20-30 minutes before cooking to allow it to come closer to room temperature. Pat both sides of the steak thoroughly dry with paper towels. Season generously all over with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  2. Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a rolling boil. Add your chosen pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Before draining, reserve about 1 to 1.5 cups of the starchy pasta water. Drain the pasta and set aside.
  3. While the pasta cooks, heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the seasoned steak in the hot skillet. Sear for 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for at least 5-10 minutes.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium. To the same skillet, add a tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and the optional red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to release all those flavorful browned bits. Let it simmer gently for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and let it cook for another 3-5 minutes.
  7. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese until it's completely melted and smooth. Add the cooked pasta directly to the skillet with the sauce and toss well to coat. If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash or two of the reserved pasta water.
  8. Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain. Divide the garlic pasta among serving plates, then top each serving with slices of the tender steak. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Keywords: Use an instant-read meat thermometer for precision on steak doneness. Don't skip resting the steak to ensure tenderness. The starchy pasta water is key for emulsifying the sauce. Adjust garlic to your liking and consider adding greens for extra nutrients.
