Ingredients
- 1 pound steak (sirloin or ribeye), cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 8 ounce rotini pasta (or any short pasta)
Instructions
1. Begin by heating 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Add the steak pieces, season them with salt and pepper, and sear until they’re nicely browned. Once the steak is cooked, remove it from the pan and set it aside.
2. In the same pan, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, and sauté until the garlic becomes fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Pour in the pasta, along with 2 1/2 to 3 cup of water or broth, and a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
4. Stir in the heavy cream and grated parmesan cheese, and let the mixture simmer for another 2 to 3 minutes, until it becomes deliciously creamy.
5. Finally, return the seared steak to the pan and mix it in with the creamy pasta, ensuring the steak is coated in the flavorful sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve the One-Pot Creamy Spicy Garlic Butter Steak & Pasta hot and ready to enjoy.
Notes
For a milder version, you can adjust the amount of crushed red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference. If you don’t have heavy cream on hand, you can substitute with half-and-half or evaporated milk. And if you’re looking to change up the pasta shape, try using penne, fusilli, or even elbow macaroni.
