Ingredients
1 lb sirloin steak, thinly sliced
8 oz pasta (penne or rigatoni)
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbsp unsalted butter
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak slices, season with salt and pepper, and sear until browned and just cooked through. Remove and set aside.
2. Reduce heat to medium. In the same pan, melt butter and add minced garlic. Cook until fragrant and lightly golden.
3. Pour in heavy cream and stir in red pepper flakes. Let the sauce simmer gently for 2–3 minutes until it begins to thicken.
4. Add uncooked pasta and just enough water to cover it. Increase heat slightly and bring to a low boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pasta is al dente and sauce is thickened.
5. Return the seared steak to the pot. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and combined.
6. Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve immediately. Add extra red pepper flakes for more heat if desired.
Notes
Use a cut of steak with good marbling like ribeye or strip for the best flavor.
Add more cream if you prefer a looser sauce consistency.
Freshly grated Parmesan melts better and adds more flavor than pre-shredded.
