STEAK PENNE PASTA WITH CREAMY GARLIC PARMESAN SAUCE
🛒 What You’ll Need🥩
- 1 lb Sirloin or Ribeye steak, sliced into strips 🥩
- 1 lb Penne pasta 🍝
- 2 tbsp Butter 🧈
- 3-4 cloves Garlic, minced 🧄
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream 🥛
- 1 cup Freshly grated Parmesan cheese 🧀
- 1 tbsp Olive oil 🫒
- Salt & Black pepper to taste 🧂
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish 🌿
👩🍳 Instructions
- Pasta Prep: Cook the penne in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside. 🍝💧
- Sear the Steak: Season your steak strips with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Sear the steak for 2–3 minutes per side until perfectly browned but still juicy. Remove from the pan and let it rest. 🥩🔥✨
- The Garlic Base: Lower the heat to medium and add butter to the same skillet. Sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant. 🧄🧈💨
- Create the Cream: Pour in the heavy cream. Let it simmer gently for 2–3 minutes, scraping up the flavorful brown bits left behind by the steak. 🥛🥄💎
- Cheese It Up: Whisk in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce becomes thick, silky, and luxurious. 🧀🌀🤤
- Combine: Toss the cooked penne into the skillet until every noodle is smothered in that creamy garlic sauce. 🍝🤝🥄
- Serve: Top the pasta with your rested steak strips. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra black pepper! 🍽️🌿😋
🔥 Pro Tips:
- The “Rest” Rule: Always let your steak rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing or serving. This keeps the juices inside the meat rather than on your plate! 🥩🛡️
- The Sauce Secret: If your sauce gets too thick while mixing, add a tiny splash of pasta water or extra cream to bring back that perfect gloss. 🥛💎🎯
