Ingredients
Scale
1 pound sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
12 ounces fettuccine or linguine pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup beef broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water before draining.
Season the steak pieces generously with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook until browned on all sides and cooked to your desired doneness, about 3-5 minutes. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Pour in the beef broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook until it slightly thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
Return the cooked steak to the skillet. Toss gently to coat.
Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss everything together until the pasta is fully coated in the sauce.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
For a deeper steak flavor, sear the steak in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Use fresh garlic for the best flavor boost in the sauce.
Adjust the amount of Parmesan cheese to control the richness of the sauce.
