Ingredients
- 1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 12 oz fettuccine or pasta of choice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions
Cook the Pasta
Start by boiling your fettuccine in a big pot of salted water. Follow the package instructions until the pasta is al dente. Once it’s done, drain it but make sure to save about 1/2 cup of pasta water for later.
Prepare the Steak
While the pasta cooks, take a large skillet and heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the bite-sized steak pieces with salt and black pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the steak to the skillet. Sear each piece for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are browned. When done, take the steak out of the skillet and set it aside.
Make the Garlic Butter
Now, lower the heat to medium. In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of butter and 4 minced garlic cloves. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant. Add the seared steak back into the skillet and mix it well in the garlic butter. Remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare the Sauce
In a different skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for about a minute. Then, pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and let it simmer. Stir in the 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, whisking until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Adjust the taste with salt and pepper.
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Now it’s time to bring everything together. Toss the cooked pasta into the sauce, making sure the pasta is coated evenly. If the sauce is too thick, use the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
Serve
Plate your cheesy herb pasta and top it with the garlic butter steak pieces. For a pop of color and freshness, garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy every bite!
