Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz pasta (penne, fettuccine, or your choice)
- 1 lb beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup beef broth
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (optional, for extra depth of flavor)
- 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
- ½ tsp black pepper (or to taste)
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving about ½ cup of pasta water.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef and cook for 3–4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if necessary and sauté the minced garlic over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce (if using), scraping up any bits stuck to the pan. Pour in the heavy cream, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Let the sauce cook for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta in the creamy garlic sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water until you reach the desired consistency. Add the cooked beef back to the skillet and toss everything together.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and toss to combine. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- You can use any cut of beef you prefer, but tender cuts like sirloin or flank steak work best for quick cooking.
- For added flavor, sauté a few chopped onions with the garlic before adding the cream.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add some red pepper flakes to the sauce.
