1. Cook the Pasta
Boil your pasta in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside, saving about half a cup of the pasta water for later.
2. Prepare the Steak
Cut the steak into bite-sized cubes. Season generously with salt, pepper, and a pinch of Italian seasoning.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, and sear the steak pieces until browned on the outside but still juicy inside (about 3–4 minutes). Remove and set aside.
3. Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce
In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (around 30 seconds).
Pour in the beef broth and heavy cream, stirring well to deglaze the pan. Add Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Let the sauce simmer until thickened.
4. Combine Everything
Add the cooked pasta and steak to the sauce. Stir gently to coat everything evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add a little pasta water until it reaches the perfect creamy consistency.
5. Serve and Garnish
Sprinkle fresh parsley and extra Parmesan on top. Serve immediately while warm and creamy.
💡 Tips for Success
- Choose the right cut of steak: Ribeye or sirloin adds the most flavor and tenderness.
- Don’t overcook the steak: It should be juicy and slightly pink inside for the best texture.
- Balance the flavors: The garlic and cream should complement, not overpower, the beef.
🌿 Health Benefits
While this dish is indulgent, it also provides nutritional benefits when eaten in moderation:
- Protein boost: The steak provides essential amino acids for muscle repair and strength.
- Calcium and vitamins: The Parmesan and cream add calcium and vitamin A.
- Mood enhancer: The combination of carbs and proteins can help boost serotonin levels, improving mood and energy.
