Prep Time 15 minutes mins
Cook Time 25 minutes mins
- 12 oz linguine
- 1 lb sirloin steak
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
Cook linguine: Boil the linguine in salted water following the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Sear steak: In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Season the steak with salt and pepper, then sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove the steak from the skillet, let it rest, and slice it thinly.
Sauté garlic: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Make sauce: Pour in the heavy cream, Parmesan, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Toss noodles: Add the cooked linguine to the skillet, tossing to coat the noodles in the creamy sauce.
Serve: Plate the noodles and top them with the sliced steak. Serve immediately while warm.
For added flavor, sprinkle some fresh chopped parsley or basil on top.
Feel free to swap the linguine for a different pasta shape like fettuccine or spaghetti, depending on your preference.
You can modify the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your spice tolerance.
