Ingredients
1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
12 oz rotini pasta
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the rotini pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Cut the steak into evenly sized, bite-sized cubes. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil. Add the steak bites and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, until browned and just cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add butter and minced garlic. Cook for about 30 seconds until the garlic is fragrant.
5. Pour in the heavy cream, then stir in Parmesan cheese. Let it simmer gently for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
6. Add the cooked rotini and steak bites to the skillet. Toss gently to coat everything in the sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to heat through.
7. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
This recipe is best served fresh for maximum creaminess.
Don’t overcook the steak bites—medium doneness keeps them juicy.
If the sauce thickens too much, loosen it with a splash of pasta water or cream.
