Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Pasta
- 1 lb steak (sirloin or ribeye), sliced thin
- 12 oz spaghetti or linguine
- 4 cups beef broth
Sauce and Seasoning
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the steak: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1/4 cup of unsalted butter. Season the thinly sliced steak with salt and pepper, then add it to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until nicely browned but not overcooked. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté garlic: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1/4 cup of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant but not burnt.
- Cook pasta: Pour the beef broth into the skillet and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Add the dry spaghetti or linguine to the simmering broth. Cook according to package instructions, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and has absorbed much of the broth.
- Combine steak and seasonings: Reduce the heat to low. Return the cooked steak to the skillet with the pasta. Sprinkle in the red pepper flakes and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir everything gently but thoroughly until the cheese melts and coats the pasta and steak evenly.
- Adjust seasoning and serve: Taste the pasta and adjust the salt and pepper if necessary. Serve the dish hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for a bright finishing touch.
Notes
- Use sirloin or ribeye steak for best flavor and tenderness.
- Adjust red pepper flakes according to your preferred spice level.
- Be sure to stir the pasta while cooking to prevent sticking and to allow even absorption of broth.
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese delivers better melting and flavor than pre-grated varieties.
- Garnish with parsley to add freshness and color to the dish.
