Garlic & Parmesan Steak Pasta

Ingredients

• 2 Steaks (Use whatever steaks you wish; seasoned with salt and pepper)
• 1 tbsp Olive oil (For brushing steaks)
• 1 tbsp Butter (For basting steaks)
• 2 Garlic cloves (Minced; divided (some for basting steak, some for sauce))
• 1 Brown onion (Diced)
• 150 g Dried pasta
• 40 g Parmesan cheese (Grated)
• 80 ml Single cream
• 170 ml Vegetable stock
• Fresh parsley (Handful, chopped)
• 0.5 tsp Salt (For sauce)
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper (For sauce)
• 0.5 tsp Onion powder
• 0.5 tsp Italian seasoning
• 0.5 tsp Oregano

Steps

1. 1

   Season your steaks with salt and pepper and brush with a little olive oil.

2. 2

   Fry the steaks in a pan to your preferred liking. For a medium-rare finish, fry for 1 minute on each side, then add butter and a portion of the garlic to the pan and baste the steaks for another 30 seconds per side.

3. 3

   Remove the steaks from the pan and set aside to rest.

4. 4

   In the same pan, add the diced brown onion and cook until softened.

5. 5

   Add the remaining minced garlic cloves to the pan and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

6. 6

   Pour in the vegetable stock and single cream, bringing the mixture to a simmer.

7. 7

   Add the salt, black pepper, onion powder, Italian seasoning, oregano, and Parmesan cheese to the sauce. Stir to combine.

8. 8

   While the sauce simmers, cook the dried pasta in a separate pot of boiling salted water according to the package instructions.

9. 9

   A few minutes before the pasta is finished, add a handful of fresh chopped parsley to the sauce.

10. 10

    Once the pasta is ready, drain and add it directly to the sauce pan. Turn off the heat and toss to coat the pasta thoroughly.

11. 11

    Slice the rested steak into strips, place on top of the pasta, and serve.

Notes

The author suggests 1 minute per side followed by a 30-second garlic butter baste for the steak, but you should adjust this based on your preferred level of doneness and the thickness of the cut.
