Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound sirloin steak
- 8 ounces penne pasta
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 4 cups water
Instructions
Bring a pot of 4 cups of water to boil. Add a pinch of salt and cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, prepare the sirloin steak. Pat dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the beef broth and heavy cream. Stir thoroughly, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan for added flavor.
Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. If desired, add red pepper flakes for a hint of spice.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat it evenly with the sauce.
Gently fold in the sliced steak and allow the dish to heat through for 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve warm and enjoy your Easy Peasy Steak and Pasta Skillet!
