Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb steak, sliced thin – Sirloin, flank, or ribeye work well.
  • 12 oz pasta (penne or rigatoni) – Holds onto the creamy sauce for the perfect bite.

For the Sauce

  • 2 cups beef broth – Adds a rich, meaty base to the pasta.
  • 1 cup heavy cream – Creates a smooth, velvety texture.
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh) – Provides a zesty, slightly tangy contrast to the creamy sauce.

For Flavor & Seasoning

  • 1 tbsp olive oil – Used for sautéing the steak and aromatics.
  • 1 small onion, chopped – Adds sweetness and depth to the sauce.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced – Enhances the overall flavor.
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning – A blend of herbs that complements the steak and tomatoes.
  • Salt and pepper, to taste.

For the Creamy Finish

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese – Melts into the sauce for a rich, cheesy taste.

For Garnish

  • Fresh basil or parsley (optional) – Adds a fresh, herby contrast before serving.

Instructions

  1. Cook the Steak – Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add sliced steak, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the steak from the pot and set it aside.
  2. Sauté the Onion and Garlic – In the same pot, add chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  3. Add Liquids and Pasta – Pour in beef broth, heavy cream, and diced tomatoes. Stir in uncooked pasta, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
  4. Add Steak and Parmesan – Return the cooked steak to the pot and stir well. Add grated Parmesan cheese and mix until melted and combined.
  5. Serve and Garnish – Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • You can customize the pasta shape to your preference.
  • Feel free to add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
