Garlic Steak Pasta Recipe
A delicious and hearty pasta dish featuring tender steak and a flavorful garlic butter sauce.
Ingredients
Pasta
- 225 g linguine or fettuccine
Steak
- 300 g sirloin steak or ribeye/new york strip
Sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan optional
- 1/2 cup reserved pasta water
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente, about 8–10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain and set aside.
- Pat the steak dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for 3–4 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. Remove and let rest for 5–10 minutes.
- In the same pan, melt butter and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant and golden, then stir in red pepper flakes.
- Add the cooked pasta to the pan and toss in the garlic butter sauce, using reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce if needed.
- Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain.
- Plate the pasta and top with sliced steak. Garnish with chopped parsley and Parmesan if desired. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
For extra flavor, let the steak marinate for a few hours before cooking.
