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

  1. Pasta Prep: Cook the penne in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside. 🍝💧
  2. 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. 🥩🔥✨
  3. 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. 🧄🧈💨
  4. 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. 🥛🥄💎
  5. Cheese It Up: Whisk in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce becomes thick, silky, and luxurious. 🧀🌀🤤
  6. Combine: Toss the cooked penne into the skillet until every noodle is smothered in that creamy garlic sauce. 🍝🤝🥄
  7. 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. 🥛💎🎯
