Description
A rich, savory one-pot steak pasta loaded with tender sirloin, garlic butter, and a creamy spicy sauce. Perfect for quick weeknight dinners or indulgent comfort food cravings.
Ingredients
1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, thinly sliced
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
3 cups beef broth
2 cups heavy cream
10 oz penne or fettuccine pasta
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Season steak slices with salt and pepper.
In a large deep skillet or pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear steak 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
Lower heat to medium, melt butter in the same pot. Add garlic and red pepper flakes; sauté 1 minute.
Pour in beef broth and heavy cream. Stir in pasta, smoked paprika, and onion powder. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once pasta is tender, stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and sauce is creamy.
Return steak to pot and toss to combine. Heat through.
Garnish with parsley and serve hot.
Notes
More spice: Add cayenne or hot sauce with the red pepper flakes.
Vegetarian option: Use grilled zucchini, mushrooms, or bell peppers instead of steak.
Creamier finish: Stir in extra Parmesan just before serving.
Thicker sauce: Simmer uncovered for a few minutes at the end, or add a cornstarch slurry.
