Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Garlic Butter
- 1 pound Steak (sirloin or ribeye) – Choose sirloin for a lean bite or ribeye for rich marbling and flavor
- 2 tablespoons Salted Butter
- 3 cloves Fresh Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- Salt and Black Pepper, to taste
Cheesy Linguine Pasta
- 8 ounces Linguine Pasta
- 1 cup Four-Cheese Blend (cheddar, mozzarella, parmesan, cream cheese)
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak: Cut the steak into bite-sized cubes. Season generously with salt and black pepper, then pat the pieces dry to ensure a great sear when cooked.
- Cook the Linguine: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve ½ cup of the pasta water before draining the pasta.
- Sear the Steak: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned steak cubes and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness.
- Make Garlic Butter Sauce: Using the same skillet, reduce heat to low. Add salted butter and allow it to melt. Then sauté minced garlic and chopped parsley until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Combine Steak and Garlic Butter: Toss the seared steak cubes in the garlic butter mixture to coat thoroughly, then remove the skillet from heat.
- Prepare the Cheese Sauce: In a separate saucepan over low heat, combine heavy cream and cream cheese. Stir continuously until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the four-cheese blend, stirring until fully melted and incorporated into a thick sauce.
- Toss Linguine in Cheese Sauce: Add the drained linguine into the cheese sauce and toss to coat evenly. Let the pasta simmer in the sauce for 1 minute, adding reserved pasta water as needed to reach desired consistency.
- Plate and Serve: Serve the cheesy linguine alongside the garlic butter steak. Garnish with extra parsley or parmesan if desired for a beautiful and flavorful presentation.
Notes
- Patting the steak dry before searing is key to achieving a perfect crust.
- Reserve some pasta water to adjust the consistency of the cheese sauce if it becomes too thick.
- For a spicier variation, add a pinch of red pepper flakes when sautéing the garlic.
- Choose fresh, high-quality cheese for the creamiest sauce possible.
- Let the steak rest for a few minutes after cooking if you prefer larger pieces instead of cubes.
