Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 oz Beef steak (ribeye or sirloin, about 1 inch thick)
- 4 oz Pasta (spaghetti or fettuccine)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1.5 tsp Honey
- 2 tbsp Heavy cream
- 1 tsp Parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
- 1 tbsp Parmesan cheese (grated, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, approximately 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, season both sides of the steak with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the steak to the skillet.
Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or cook to your desired level of doneness. Remove from the skillet and let the steak rest on a plate, loosely tented with foil.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add another tablespoon of olive oil and the butter. Once the butter has melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Whisk in the Dijon mustard, honey, and heavy cream to create the sauce. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing it in the sauce until well coated. Remove from heat.
Slice the rested steak into thin strips against the grain.
Plate the pasta, topping it with the sliced steak. Garnish with parsley and Parmesan cheese if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Solo Honey Mustard Steak and Pasta!
