A creamy, hearty pasta dish featuring tender steak strips in a garlicky cream sauce with sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach. Perfect for quick weeknight dinners or cozy gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces flank or sirloin steak, thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces fettuccine or your favorite pasta
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (oil-packed, drained)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Slice 12 ounces of flank or sirloin steak thinly across the grain. Pat dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 8 ounces of fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente (about 10-12 minutes). Reserve ½ cup pasta water before draining and set pasta aside.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak slices in a single layer and cook for 2 minutes per side until browned but not overcooked. Remove steak and set aside.
  4. Reduce heat to medium. Add 1 tablespoon butter, minced shallot, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and softened but not browned.
  5. Stir in ½ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Cook for another minute to release flavors.
  6. Pour in 1 cup heavy cream and ½ cup chicken broth. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer. Let thicken slightly for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Stir in ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Add 2 cups chopped fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Return cooked steak slices to the pan along with drained pasta. Toss gently, adding reserved pasta water a few tablespoons at a time if sauce needs loosening.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan when searing steak to get a nice crust. Keep heat medium when sautéing garlic and shallots to avoid burning. Reserve pasta water to loosen sauce if needed. Freshly grate Parmesan for best melting and flavor. Wilt spinach last to preserve color and texture.
