Ingredients
2 lbs sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into strips
1 lb fettuccine or penne pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
6 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup dry white wine (optional, but recommended)
2 cups heavy cream
1½ cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or basil
Extra Parmesan, for garnish
Instructions
Cook pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season steak with salt and pepper, then sear 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Transfer to a plate.
Lower heat to medium. In the same skillet, sauté garlic for 30 seconds. Deglaze the pan with white wine, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer for 2 minutes.
Add cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan, red pepper flakes, and reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce. Cook until thickened, about 3–4 minutes.
Return steak and pasta to the pan. Toss to coat evenly in the sauce.
Finish with fresh herbs and extra Parmesan. Serve hot.
