Ingredients
250 g pasta shells
300 g beef steak (cut into bite-size pieces)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
4 cloves garlic (minced)
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
½ cup beef broth
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon black pepper
Salt to taste
½ teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
Cook the pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the steak pieces with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat and sear the steak until browned. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant.
Pour in beef broth and let it simmer for 2 minutes.
Add heavy cream and stir well, letting it thicken slightly.
Mix in parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
Return the steak to the pan and coat with the sauce.
Add cooked pasta and toss everything together until well combined.
Sprinkle chili flakes and fresh parsley on top.
Method
Sear the steak first to lock in flavor, then build a creamy garlic sauce in the same pan using all the tasty browned bits. Combine everything at the end so the pasta absorbs the rich sauce.
Tips
Use ribeye or sirloin for tender juicy steak
Do not overcook the steak to keep it soft
Add a splash of pasta water if sauce gets too thick
Fresh parmesan gives the best flavor
Conclusion
This dish is rich, creamy, and packed with bold garlic butter flavor. Perfect for a quick but indulgent dinner that tastes like restaurant quality at home.
