Ingredients

  • Ribeye, New York Strip, or Sirloin steak (at least 1-inch thick)
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Avocado or canola oil
  • Fettuccine, pappardelle, or penne pasta
  • Garlic
  • Heavy cream
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Butter
  • Optional: Tomato sauce, mushrooms, herbs (parsley, thyme, rosemary), balsamic glaze, lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Bring steak to room temperature 30-40 minutes before cooking.
  2. Generously season steak with salt at least 40 minutes before cooking, or preferably overnight.
  3. Pat the steak completely dry with paper towels.
  4. Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat until smoking hot.
  5. Add oil with a high smoke point.
  6. Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare to medium. Use a meat thermometer to ensure desired internal temperature.
  7. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for at least 10 minutes.
  8. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente.
  9. Prepare your sauce. For a creamy garlic Parmesan sauce, sauté garlic in butter, then add heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Simmer until thickened.
  10. Slice the rested steak against the grain into thin, even strips.
  11. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat.
  12. Gently fold in the sliced steak.
  13. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • Use high-quality steak and fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Don’t overcook the steak; use a meat thermometer.
  • Season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Fresh herbs can add a burst of freshness.
  • Adjust sauce seasoning to taste; lemon juice can brighten a creamy sauce.
