Ingredients

  • 1½ pounds sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Optional: red pepper flakes for heat
  • 12 ounces linguine pasta
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1½ cups heavy cream
  • ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Boil linguine in salted water until al dente. Reserve ½ cup pasta water. Drain and set aside.
  2. Prepare the Steak Bites: Pat steak dry and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Heat olive oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak in batches, 1–2 minutes per side. Add butter and garlic; toss to coat, then remove from skillet and keep warm.
  3. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter. Sauté garlic briefly, then whisk in flour to form a roux. Gradually add heavy cream, simmering until thickened. Stir in Parmesan, mozzarella, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if needed.
  4. Combine and Serve: Add cooked pasta to sauce and toss to coat. Return steak bites to skillet. Garnish with parsley and extra cheese before serving.

Notes

  • Use filet for extra tenderness or swap in chicken or sausage.
  • Add mushrooms, spinach, or sun-dried tomatoes for a veggie boost.
  • Substitute fettuccine or penne for linguine.
  • Cream cheese or white wine adds tang to the sauce.
  • Reheat gently with a splash of cream or milk to preserve texture.
