Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz linguine
- 1 lb sirloin steak
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup Parmesan, grated
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Cook the Linguine: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add your linguine. Cook according to package instructions until al dente. Once ready, drain it and set it aside. It’s pasta time, baby!
- Sear the Steak: In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of buttery goodness over medium-high heat. Season the sirloin with salt and pepper, and sear it for about 3-4 minutes on each side. You want that beautiful medium-rare finish. Once done, remove the steak, let it rest, and slice it thinly.
- Sauté Garlic: Remember that beautiful skillet? Don’t wash it just yet! Add the remaining tablespoon of butter and toss in the minced garlic. Sauté for about a minute—it should smell heavenly!
- Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and stir in the Parmesan, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, giving it time to thicken slightly. This sauce is the real star of the show, folks!
- Toss the Noodles: Time to reunite! Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss it all together until every noodle is generously coated in that glorious sauce.
- Serve: Plate your creamy garlic steak pasta and top it with those lovely slices of steak. Serve warm, and watch your family’s eyes light up.
Notes
- If you want to spice things up, feel free to add veggies like spinach or sun-dried tomatoes.
- Don’t sweat it if your sauce looks a little lumpy at first—it’s all part of the magic! Just stir it a bit until smooth.
- If you don’t have sirloin on hand, don’t be afraid to switch it out for another cut of steak or even chicken!
