Creamy Steak Pasta Step-by-Step Recipe
Now it’s time to learn exactly the steps and techniques to make hearty steak pasta in your own kitchen. Breathe, loves! This is one of the easiest recipes I know… You just toss every ingredient in a saucepan, cook them for several minutes, prepare pasta, and stir everything together. However, if don’t believe me, just try it preparing it yourself and tell me how it was in the comment section below.
First of all, place water with salt into a medium or large pot and add the penne pasta to it.
Then, boil the pasta for 1-2 minutes, less than the package instructions, until it is slightly undercooked and still a little firm when bitten.
Hammer the steak with a tenderizer and cut it into thin slices.
Keep in mind to season the pieces of steak with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Take out a medium or large frying pan and add some oil to it.
Heat the pan on medium and add the steak pieces once the oil becomes hot.
Place the pieces evenly in the pan with some gaps between them.
Cook the meat for just under 1 minute on each side so the steak gets a little browning.
After you flip the steak, add the garlic cloves to the pan and sauté. You may also use garlic powder as an alternative to solid cloves. Typically, one teaspoon of the powder is enough.
Next, pour the cream with a pinch of salt and pepper into the pan to make the sauce.
Once a creamy texture is obtained, add the parmesan cheese to the pan to make the sauce thicker.
Then, mix your beef pieces well with the sauce and squeeze some lemon juice into the pan.
Finally, add your boiled pasta to the frying pan and stir the ingredients well.
Make sure to stir the pasta properly so that it is covered completely in the sauce.
Cook for 1-2 more minutes to finish cooking the pasta, and then remove the pasta from the pan to serve it hot.
You may use freshly chopped parsley to garnish the pasta when serving it.
