Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound of sirloin steak
- 1.5 cups of penne pasta
- water with a pinch of salt (for boiling the pasta)
- one pinch of salt
- one pinch of freshly ground black pepper
- 3 chopped garlic cloves
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- few drops of lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
-
- 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 parmesan cheese to the pan to make the sauce thicker.
- Finally, add your boiled pasta to the frying pan and stir the ingredients well.
- Then, mix your beef pieces well with the sauce and squeeze some lemon juice into the pan.
- 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 for garnishing the pasta when serving it.
