Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb steak, cut into bite‑sized pieces
- 8 oz twisted pasta
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to package directions; drain and set aside.
- Heat 2 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium‑high heat. Season steak with salt and pepper, then sear until browned and cooked through, about 5‑7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet add remaining butter and garlic; sauté 1‑2 minutes.
- Stir in heavy cream, bring to a simmer, then add Parmesan until smooth.
- Return steak to the skillet, toss to coat, add pasta, and mix well.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a lighter sauce
- substitute half‑and‑half for the heavy cream and add a splash of milk. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Leftovers reheat best on the stovetop with a splash of pasta water.
