Ingredients

1 pound rotini pasta

1 pound steak (sirloin, ribeye, or tenderloin), cut into cubes

3 garlic cloves, minced

2 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 cup heavy cream

3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the rotini until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.

2. Season steak pieces with salt and pepper. Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

3. Add steak bites in a single layer and sear for 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.

4. In the same skillet, sauté garlic until fragrant. Add heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.

5. Stir in parmesan, red pepper flakes, and reserved pasta water. Simmer until the sauce thickens.

6. Add the rotini and steak bites back into the skillet and toss gently to coat.

7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Let the steak come to room temperature before searing to get the best crust.

For a thinner sauce, add more pasta water one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
