Cheesy Garlic Steak Bites & Creamy Linguine
Pasta Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Steak Bites:
1.5 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tbsp olive oil
4 tbsp butter, divided
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/8 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
For the Creamy Linguine:
1 lb linguine pasta
6 tbsp butter
5 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Romano cheese
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
In a large bowl, toss the steak cubes with olive oil, Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the steak cubes to the skillet in a single layer, do not to overcrowd.
Sear for 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Repeat with the remaining steak cubes and another 2 tablespoons of butter.
While the steak is searing, cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain the pasta and set aside.
In the same skillet used for the steak, melt 6 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and stir in the Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Romano cheese.
Stir until the cheeses are fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Add the cooked pasta to the creamy cheese sauce and toss to coat evenly.
Divide the creamy linguine among plates and top with the seared steak bites.
