Equipment

  • 1 large skillet
  • 1 pot for boiling pasta
  • 1 strainer
  • 1 mixing spoon
  • 1 knife and cutting board
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces You can substitute with any tender beef cut.
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped Optional for garnish.
  • 8 ounces fettuccine or pasta of your choice
  • 1 cup heavy cream For a lighter version, consider using half-and-half.
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • fresh parsley, chopped for garnish Optional for garnish.

Instructions
 

  • Begin by cooking the pasta. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add the bite-sized steak pieces to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Sear the steak for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they reach desired doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, lower the heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter along with the heavy cream. Stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese to the creamy sauce. Stir until smooth and thickened.
  • Toss the drained pasta in the creamy Parmesan sauce until fully coated. If necessary, add a little pasta water to adjust the consistency.
  • Add the garlic butter steak bites back into the skillet with the pasta and mix gently to combine. Cook for an additional minute to heat through.
  • Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

You can substitute the sirloin steak with any tender beef cut of your choice.
For a lighter version, consider using half-and-half in place of heavy cream.
You can also add vegetables such as spinach or asparagus to the pasta for added nutrition.
