Butter Steak with Garlic and Cheesy Herbs Pasta is a rich and decadent dish that mixes cheesy, creamy pasta with tender, delicious meat. While the pasta is bursting with cheesy richness and fresh herbs, the steak gains depth from the garlic butter. Here’s a quick recipe to prepare this delectable dish:
Components:
Regarding the Butter Steak with Garlic:
- Two boneless ribeye steaks, or any other type of steak that you like
- Two tablespoons of olive oil
- To taste, add salt and pepper.
- Four tablespoons of butter
- Four minced garlic cloves
- Half a teaspoon dried thyme or one teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1/2 tsp dried rosemary or 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
- One tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley (optional; garnish)
For the Pasta with Cheesy Herbs:
- 8 ounces of pasta, such as spaghetti, fettuccine, or any other type you like
- Two tablespoons of butter
- One cup of heavy cream
- One cup of Parmesan cheese, grated
- Half a cup of mozzarella cheese, shredded
- A half-tsp of garlic powder
- Half a teaspoon of dry Italian spice, or a mixture of herbs
- To taste, add salt and pepper.
- One tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley (for garnish)
Directions:
Regarding the Butter Steak with Garlic:
- Get the steaks ready: Use paper towels to pat the steaks dry. Add a liberal amount of salt and pepper to both sides.
Prepare the steaks by cooking them: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steaks to the heated skillet and sear them for 4–5 minutes on each side (for medium-rare, modify the duration to your preferred doneness). After taking the steaks out of the skillet, let them rest. - Prepare the garlic butter: Reduce the heat to medium in the same skillet. Stir in the rosemary, garlic, thyme, and butter. Cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is aromatic, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Let the steak rest: Spoon the garlic butter over the steaks and put them back in the skillet. Before taking the steaks out of the skillet, let them remain in the garlic butter for a further two to three minutes. If desired, garnish with chopped parsley.
For the Pasta with Cheesy Herbs:
- Bring a big saucepan of salted water to a boil in order to cook the pasta. After cooking the pasta as directed on the package, drain it, saving about 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
- Prepare the sauce: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, heavy cream, and a dash of salt and pepper. Cook for two to three minutes, stirring, until the sauce starts to thicken.
- Put the cheese in there: Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the grated Parmesan and mozzarella shreds, stirring until they melt and become smooth. Use some of the pasta water you set aside to thin out the sauce if it’s too thick.
- Throw the spaghetti in: To coat the pasta in the creamy mixture, add the drained pasta to the skillet with the cheesy sauce and toss. If preferred, top with additional Parmesan and fresh parsley.
To assist:
- Cut the garlic butter steak into thin strips by slicing it against the grain.
- Place pieces of the garlic butter steak on top of the cheesy herb pasta on a platter.
- Garnish with additional parsley and Parmesan cheese, if desired.
