Ingredients:
- 12 oz steak (ribeye, sirloin, or filet), cut into strips
- 8 oz fettuccine or your favorite pasta
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
- Cook the Pasta:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Cook the Steak:
- Season the steak strips with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steak strips and cook until browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- Prepare the Sauce:
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and beef broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Add Seasonings and Cheese:
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, dried thyme, and dried basil. Continue to simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine Pasta and Steak:
- Add the cooked pasta and steak strips back into the skillet, tossing to coat everything evenly in the creamy sauce.
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the steak is heated through and the pasta is well coated with the sauce.
- Serve:
- Transfer the creamy steak pasta to serving plates.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
