Ingredients
12 oz linguine
1 lb sirloin steak
2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
¼ cup reserved pasta water
Instructions
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook linguine until al dente. Drain and reserve ½ cup pasta water.
2. Slice sirloin thinly against the grain. Season with salt and pepper. Let rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear beef in batches for 1–2 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant, about 1–2 minutes. Add red pepper flakes if using.
5. Pour in heavy cream. Simmer for 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in parmesan until melted and smooth.
6. Return beef to skillet along with cooked linguine. Toss to coat evenly in sauce.
7. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if sauce is too thick. Simmer for 1–2 minutes to combine flavors.
8. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot with extra parmesan or fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
Use freshly grated parmesan for the smoothest, most flavorful sauce.
Slice beef thinly and sear quickly to keep it tender and juicy.
Don’t forget to save pasta water—it’s great for loosening and enriching the sauce.
