Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz steak (ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon), cut into bite-sized pieces
- 8 oz shell pasta
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Olive oil, salt, and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Boil salted water in a large pot. Add shell pasta and cook until al dente. Reserve some pasta water before draining.
- Season steak pieces with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and sear the steak until browned on all sides. Remove from heat.
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream, stirring well, then mix in Parmesan cheese until melted.
- Add drained pasta to the skillet with the sauce; toss gently to combine, adjusting consistency with reserved pasta water if needed.
- Serve by plating the pasta first, topping it generously with steak bites, and garnishing with parsley if desired.
