Equipment
- Large Skillet
- Pot
- Spatula
- Cheese Grater
- Mixing Bowl
- Tongs
Ingredients
Steak Bites
- 1.5 lbs sirloin steak cut into 1-inch cubes
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Pasta
- 8 oz shell pasta
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Garnish
- fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the shell pasta and cook until al dente, per package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Season steak cubes with salt and pepper. Add them to the skillet in a single layer. Sear for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked to your liking.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together so the pasta soaks up the garlic butter and coats the steak.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan over the mix. Stir until it melts into a creamy sauce. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if it’s too thick.
- Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve hot.
Notes
Swap steak for chicken or tofu for a twist. Use gluten-free pasta for dietary needs. Add veggies like spinach or mushrooms for extra flavor!
