Juicy steak and pasta blend in a spicy, creamy garlic butter sauce, all cooked in one skillet for rich, comforting flavor.
# What You'll Need:
01 -
1 lb steak (sirloin or ribeye), cut into bite-sized pieces
02 -
2 tablespoons butter, divided
03 -
4 cloves garlic, minced
04 -
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
05 -
1 cup heavy cream
06 -
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
07 -
8 oz rotini pasta
08 -
2.5–3 cups water or broth
09 -
Salt, to taste
10 -
Black pepper, to taste
11 -
Chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)
# How to Make It:
01 -
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak pieces, season with salt and pepper, and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
02 -
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter. Stir in garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
03 -
Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Simmer for 3–4 minutes.
04 -
Stir in the grated parmesan cheese until fully melted into the sauce.
05 -
Add the uncooked rotini pasta and the water or broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
06 -
Once the pasta is al dente and the sauce has thickened, return the steak and its juices to the skillet. Stir to coat the steak and pasta in the sauce.
07 -
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed. Garnish with parsley and extra parmesan, if desired.
08 -
Serve hot and enjoy immediately.
