Description
A savory beef linguine with velvety garlic butter sauce recipe made with tender steak, rich creamy sauce, fresh garlic, and parmesan. This easy weeknight pasta dinner is quick, satisfying, and full of flavor.
Ingredients
400g linguine
350g thinly sliced beef (sirloin, flank, or ribeye)
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add linguine and cook until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef for 1–2 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
3. Lower the heat to medium, add butter to the same skillet, and stir in minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Pour in the heavy cream, stir, and simmer for 3–4 minutes. Add grated parmesan and mix until smooth. Add pasta water to loosen if needed.
5. Return the beef and linguine to the skillet. Toss to coat everything in the sauce. Season with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
6. Sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve hot with extra parmesan on the side.
Notes
Use high-quality parmesan for the best flavor.
Do not overcook the beef to keep it tender.
Add a splash of white wine to the sauce for extra depth.
