Ingredients

Scale

Proteins

  • 8 oz sirloin or ribeye steak

Fats and Oils

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Produce

  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Grains and Pasta

  • 8 oz egg noodles or linguine

Seasonings

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Steak: Season the steak generously with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil. Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness. Remove the steak and let it rest briefly.
  2. Cook the Noodles: While the steak cooks, boil a pot of salted water. Cook noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water to adjust the sauce if needed.
  3. Make Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add butter and minced garlic. Sauté garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned, forming a flavorful sauce base.
  4. Combine Noodles and Steak: Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain. Add noodles and steak slices into the garlic butter sauce. Toss well to coat evenly, adding reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce as needed.
  5. Finish and Serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately while warm and flavorful.

Notes

  • Use room temperature steak for even searing and juicier bites.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook steak in batches if necessary for a perfect crust.
  • Add garlic last to butter and cook briefly to avoid bitterness.
  • Reserve some pasta water to adjust sauce consistency and enhance flavor marriage.
  • Let steak rest after cooking to retain its juices.
