Ingredients

• 1 pound sirloin steak
• 8 ounces penne pasta
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 4 cups water

Directions

Step 1

Bring a pot of 4 cups of water to boil. Add a pinch of salt and cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the pasta cooks, prepare the sirloin steak. Pat dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the beef broth and heavy cream. Stir thoroughly, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan for added flavor.

Step 6

Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. If desired, add red pepper flakes for a hint of spice.

Step 7

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat it evenly with the sauce.

Step 8

Gently fold in the sliced steak and allow the dish to heat through for 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your Easy Peasy Steak and Pasta Skillet!
