Description
A rich and creamy one-pot steak pasta dish with garlic butter that is perfect for weeknights and impressive enough for guests.
Ingredients
Scale
- 500 g steak (flank, sirloin, or ribeye)
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil (30 ml)
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter (45 g)
- 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped (120 g)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced (12 g)
- 120 ml dry white wine or low-sodium beef/chicken stock
- 240 ml heavy cream (1 cup)
- 240 ml beef stock (1 cup)
- 300 g dried pasta (10.5 oz, short pasta like penne or fettuccine)
- 60 g grated Parmesan cheese (1/2 cup)
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 15 g chopped parsley (1/4 cup)
Instructions
- Season and sear the steak: Pat steak dry, season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear steak for 2–3 minutes on each side until brown; internal temp ~52°C (125°F). Transfer to a plate and let rest.
- Reduce heat to medium, add butter, and sauté the chopped onion for 4–5 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for 30–45 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in wine or stock to deglaze and scrape up browned bits; simmer for 1–2 minutes until reduced by half. Stir in heavy cream and beef stock, bring to a gentle simmer for 2 minutes.
- Add pasta and salt to the sauce, cover, and cook, stirring every 2–3 minutes until pasta is 1–2 minutes shy of al dente, about 8–10 minutes.
- Remove lid, stir in grated Parmesan and lemon zest, adding reserved pasta water if necessary. Fold in sliced steak and chopped parsley; warm through and serve immediately.
Notes
Let the steak rest before slicing for improved juiciness. For an extra glossy sauce, swirl in 1 tbsp cold butter just before serving.
