Ingredients
1 lb steak (sirloin or ribeye), cut into cubes
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 lb pasta (penne or rotini)
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1. Season steak cubes with salt, pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes.
2. Heat olive oil in a large pot over high heat. Sear steak until browned. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same pot, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant.
4. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.
5. Add uncooked pasta to the pot and stir frequently to avoid sticking.
6. Cook pasta until tender and the sauce thickens, about 10–12 minutes.
7. Stir in parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
8. Return steak to the pot and mix well. Let heat through for 2–3 minutes.
9. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
Steak should be seared just until browned, as it will cook further when reheated with the pasta.
Stir pasta occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Adjust spice level by increasing or reducing red pepper flakes to your taste.
