How to Make 30-Minute Creamy Garlic Butter Steak Pasta
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and let it melt until foamy, about a minute.
- Season the sirloin steak with salt and pepper. Add it to the skillet, searing for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Set aside.
- In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium. Add the remaining butter, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes to thicken.
- Add the rotini and enough water or broth to cover the pasta. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover, cooking for 10-12 minutes until al dente.
- Return the seared steak and any juices to the skillet. Stir gently to mix, adjusting seasoning if needed.
- Finish with fresh parsley and extra grated Parmesan cheese. Serve hot.
