Ingredients
12 oz linguine pasta
1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
2 tbsp olive oil
4 tbsp unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1. Pat the steak dry and season with salt and pepper. Let rest at room temperature for 10–15 minutes.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Sear the beef cubes in batches for 2–3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
3. Boil the linguine in salted water until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water and drain.
4. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes.
5. Pour in the heavy cream and simmer until slightly thickened, about 3–4 minutes.
6. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth. Add reserved pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce.
7. Toss the cooked linguine in the sauce until evenly coated.
8. Add the beef back in and simmer for 1–2 more minutes to reheat and combine flavors.
9. Plate the pasta and top with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Let the beef rest after searing to keep it juicy.
Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best melting texture and flavor.
Reserve pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency without thinning the flavor.
