Steak with Creamy Pasta
Ingredients:
For the Steak:
2 ribeye steaks (or any cut of your choice)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, smashed
2 sprigs fresh rosemary (optional)
For the Creamy Pasta:
8 oz linguine or fettuccine pasta
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Freshly ground black pepper (for garnish)
Instructions:
Cook the Steak:
Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add the steaks and sear them for 3-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
Add the butter, garlic, and rosemary (if using) to the skillet. Baste the steaks with the melted butter for an additional 1-2 minutes, then remove them from the skillet and let them rest.
Prepare the Creamy Pasta:
While the steaks are resting, cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In the same skillet used for the steaks, melt butter over medium heat. Add the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese and garlic powder, cooking until the sauce thickens slightly. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Toss the cooked pasta into the creamy sauce and stir until well coated.
Assemble the Dish:
Plate the creamy pasta and top with sliced steak.
Drizzle any remaining sauce from the pan over the steak and pasta.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and a few cracks of black pepper.

Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious combination of steak and creamy pasta!
