Ingredients

1 pound sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

6 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 cups beef broth

1 1/2 cups heavy cream

8 ounces penne or rigatoni pasta, uncooked

3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Season steak with salt and pepper, then sear in olive oil over medium-high heat until browned. Remove and set aside.

2. Reduce heat and melt butter in the same pan. Add garlic and red pepper flakes, stirring until fragrant.

3. Pour in beef broth and heavy cream, then stir in the dry pasta. Let it simmer, stirring frequently.

4. When pasta is tender, return steak to the pan and stir in Parmesan until melted.

5. Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish with parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Use a heavy-bottomed pot to avoid burning the garlic and ensure even cooking.

Stir pasta frequently while simmering to prevent sticking or uneven texture.

Add a splash of water or broth if the sauce thickens too much before pasta is fully cooked.
