Tender, juicy steak paired with pasta in a rich garlic butter sauce. This Garlic Steak Pasta is a quick, elegant dinner packed with bold flavor and perfect for weeknights or special occasions.

Ingredients

  • 12 oz pasta (fettuccine, linguine, penne, or your choice)
  • 1 lb steak (sirloin, ribeye, or NY strip)
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4–5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Olive oil, for searing

Instructions

  1. Boil salted water in a large pot. Cook pasta until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
  2. Pat steak dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear steak for 3–4 minutes per side. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes.
  3. Slice steak thinly against the grain.
  4. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and melt butter. Add garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Add red pepper flakes if using.
  5. Add pasta to the garlic butter and toss to coat. Use reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce if needed.
  6. Fold in the sliced steak. Toss everything together and season to taste.
  7. Serve with grated Parmesan and parsley on top.

Notes

  • Add a splash of cream for a richer sauce.
  • Stir in sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or sun-dried tomatoes for extra veggies.
  • Use Pecorino Romano instead of Parmesan for a sharper flavor.
  • Best served fresh. Store leftovers up to 3 days in the fridge.
  • Reheat gently to avoid overcooking the steak.
