Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (adjust for spice preference)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 pound pasta of your choice (I love using penne or fettuccine)
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
- Optional: Lemon wedges for squeezing over the finished dish
Instructions
- Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant but not burned.
- Add the butter to the skillet and allow it to melt completely. Once melted, add the pasta, chicken broth, and heavy cream. Stir to combine, ensuring the pasta is submerged in the liquid.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked to your liking.
- Return the steak to the skillet, along with any juices. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until it melts and coats the pasta and steak evenly.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and, if desired, a squeeze of lemon juice for a hint of freshness.
- Serve hot, and watch as your family digs into this delightful, one-skillet wonder!
