Ingredients
300g sirloin steak, cubed
250g rotini pasta
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
2½ cups beef broth
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1. Cut the steak into bite-sized cubes and season with salt and pepper.
2. Heat a large deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil and sear the steak in batches until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same pan, reduce heat to medium. Add butter, then stir in the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Pour in the beef broth and heavy cream. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
5. Stir in the uncooked rotini pasta. Let it simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 10–12 minutes until the pasta is al dente and the sauce has thickened.
6. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce becomes creamy.
7. Return the steak and any juices to the pan. Stir well to coat in the sauce. Simmer for 1–2 more minutes until heated through.
8. Turn off the heat, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve hot.
Notes
Let the steak rest before adding back in—it keeps it tender and juicy.
Use freshly grated Parmesan for the creamiest sauce without clumps.
If sauce thickens too much, add a splash of broth or cream to loosen it.
