A rich and indulgent pasta dish featuring tender steak bites tossed in a creamy garlic Parmesan sauce, perfect for a comforting weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz pasta (fettuccine or penne)
  • 12 oz steak (ribeye or sirloin), cut into bite‑sized pieces
  • ½ tsp salt + ¼ tsp black pepper, divided
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving ¼ cup pasta water.
  2. Season steak pieces with ¼ tsp salt and ¼ tsp pepper.
  3. In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear steak in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until browned but medium‑rare. Transfer steak to a plate and tent with foil.
  4. Add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to the skillet. Lower heat to medium, sauté garlic 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth; bring to a simmer.
  6. Stir in Parmesan cheese and butter until melted; season with remaining salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  7. Return steak to pan along with pasta. Toss to coat, adding reserved pasta water if needed for desired sauce consistency.
  8. Cook 1–2 minutes more until everything is heated through and sauce clings to pasta.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Substitute half-and-half for heavy cream for a lighter sauce.
  • Use leftover steak or rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • Add mushrooms or spinach for extra veggies.
  • For a sharper flavor, use Pecorino Romano or aged Parmesan.
  • Reheat gently with a splash of cream or broth to maintain sauce silkiness.
