Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 8 oz pasta (fettuccine, penne, or your choice)
• 1 lb steak (ribeye, sirloin, or flank), sliced into thin strips
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup beef broth
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak slices with salt and pepper, then sear them for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
4. Pour in the beef broth and let it simmer for a minute, then add the heavy cream and Italian seasoning. Stir to combine.
5. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
6. Add the cooked pasta and steak back into the skillet, tossing everything together to coat well in the sauce.
7. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes if using, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

• Use your favorite cut of steak, but ribeye or sirloin works best for a tender, flavorful bite.
• Swap out heavy cream for half-and-half or a dairy-free alternative if preferred.
• Add mushrooms, spinach, or sun-dried tomatoes for extra texture and flavor.
• If you like it extra cheesy, mix in some shredded mozzarella along with the Parmesan.
• For a lighter version, substitute whole wheat pasta or even zucchini noodles.
