Ingredients
1 lb sirloin steak, cubed
12 oz rotini pasta, uncooked
2 tbsp olive oil
4 tbsp unsalted butter
5 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
1/2 tsp paprika
3 cups beef broth
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Cut steak into cubes and season with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak in batches until browned. Set aside.
3. Lower the heat to medium. Add butter to the same pan, scraping up any browned bits.
4. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
5. Pour in rotini and beef broth. Stir well, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover. Simmer for 10–12 minutes.
6. Once pasta is al dente, stir in heavy cream and grated parmesan. Mix until sauce is creamy.
7. Return the steak and its juices to the pan. Simmer on low for 2–3 more minutes.
8. Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish with parsley before serving.
Notes
Use freshly grated parmesan to avoid a grainy texture.
Avoid overcooking the pasta—it should be al dente before adding cream.
Let the steak rest after searing to keep it juicy.
