Creamy Spicy Garlic Butter Steak & Pasta

Weeknight dinner just got dangerously delicious. 🧄✨ With tender steak bites, a rich buttery cream sauce, and perfectly cooked pasta — all in one pot — this is one of those Nom Recipes you’ll crave on repeat.

Ingredients:

1 lb steak (sirloin or ribeye), cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons butter, divided
4 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
8 oz rotini pasta (or any short pasta)
2.5–3 cups water or broth
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Sear the Steak
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add your seasoned steak bites and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
👉 Pro Tip: Don’t overcrowd the pan — sear in batches if needed for that perfect crust.
Build the Sauce Base
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the same skillet. Stir in the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. 🌶️🧄
Cream It Up
Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Melt in the Cheese
Stir in the parmesan cheese until it fully melts into the sauce, giving you that creamy, dreamy texture.
Add Pasta & Liquid
Toss in the uncooked rotini and pour in 2.5–3 cups of water or broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10–12 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Reunite the Steak
Once pasta is tender and sauce is thickened, return the steak (and all those tasty juices!) to the skillet. Stir everything together until well coated.
Final Touches
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper. Garnish with fresh parsley and more parmesan if you like! 🧀🌿
Serve & Swoon
Serve hot and devour immediately — perfect for a pasta family dinner or impressing guests with a dinner on the stove top.

Pro Tips:

Swap It: Use chicken or shrimp if you’re out of steak. Adjust cook time accordingly.
Spice Level: For extra heat, double the red pepper flakes or add a pinch of cayenne.
Meal Prep: This dish reheats well — add a splash of cream or broth to revive the sauce.
