Ingredients
- 12 oz linguine
- 1 lb sirloin steak
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Cook the Linguine: Boil salted water and cook linguine according to package instructions (about 8-10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
- Cook the Steak: Season steak with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steak for 4-5 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove steak and let it rest before slicing thinly against the grain.
- Prepare the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, melt remaining butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Make the Creamy Sauce: Add heavy cream to the skillet, stir, and bring to a simmer. Let the sauce thicken for 2-3 minutes.
- Combine: Add cooked linguine to the skillet, tossing in the garlic butter sauce. Top with sliced steak and mix gently.
- Serve & Enjoy: Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs or grated parmesan, if desired.
Notes
- Add vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrients.
- For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes or hot sauce to the garlic butter sauce.
- Use chicken or a different steak cut (ribeye, flank) if preferred.
