Creating One-Pot Creamy Spicy Garlic Butter Steak & Pasta is a straightforward process that yields incredible flavors. Follow these steps to achieve the best results:
1. Cook the Steak: In a large pot over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the sliced steak, season with salt and pepper, and sear until browned. Remove and set aside.
2. Sauté Garlic: In the same pot, add the remaining butter. Toss in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 1 minute or until fragrant, avoiding burning the garlic.
3. Add Pasta: Pour in the pasta, beef broth, and heavy cream. Stir well to combine and bring to a gentle boil.
4. Cook the Pasta: Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the pasta simmer for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until the pasta is cooked al dente and the sauce has thickened.
5. Incorporate Steak: Add the cooked steak strips back into the pot. Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning and mix thoroughly to combine all flavors.
6. Finishing Touches: Allow everything to simmer together for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
7. Serve: Remove from heat. Plate the pasta, and top with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley for garnish.
