Ingredients
-
1.5 pounds sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
-
12 oz pasta (penne or rotini work well)
-
1/2 cup heavy cream
-
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
-
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
-
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
2 tbsp butter
-
2-3 garlic cloves, minced
-
Salt and black pepper to taste
-
2 cups water or beef broth (for cooking pasta)
-
Optional: Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
-
Cook the steak bites: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add steak bites, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked to desired doneness. Remove and set aside.
-
Make garlic butter: In the same skillet, add more butter if needed and sauté minced garlic until fragrant.
-
Cook the pasta: Add uncooked pasta and water (or broth) to the skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until pasta is tender and liquid is mostly absorbed.
-
Add cream and cheese: Stir in heavy cream, cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan until melted and creamy.
-
Combine and serve: Return steak bites to the skillet and toss to coat with cheesy pasta. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Notes
-
For added flavor, marinate steak in garlic, olive oil, and herbs for 30 minutes before cooking.
-
Use pre-cooked pasta for a quicker version—just reduce the liquid accordingly.
