Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450 g) steak: Choose sirloin or tenderloin for tender, juicy bites.
- 8 oz (225 g) rotini pasta: This pasta shape holds the sauce well, making every bite delicious.
- 4 tablespoons (60 g) unsalted butter: Adds richness to the sauce and helps in cooking the steak.
- 4 cloves garlic: Minced garlic infuses the dish with a wonderful aroma and flavor.
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream: This creates a creamy base for the sauce, making it indulgent.
- 1 cup (100 g) grated Parmesan cheese: Adds a salty, nutty flavor that complements the garlic.
- 1 teaspoon black pepper: Enhances the overall taste with a bit of spice.
- Salt: To taste, ensuring all flavors are balanced.
- Fresh parsley: Chopped for garnish, adding a pop of color and freshness.
Instructions
- Cut the steak into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and black pepper.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the rotini pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium-high heat and sear the steak bites for 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Remove the steak from the skillet, add the remaining butter and minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream, bring to a simmer, and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted.
- Add the cooked rotini and seared steak back into the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce.
- Serve garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider marinating the steak in olive oil, garlic, and herbs before cooking.
