Ingredients
12 ounces linguine pasta
1 pound sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the steak cubes with kosher salt and black pepper evenly.
Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering.
Add the steak bites in a single layer, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to desired doneness. Remove steak bites from skillet and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant and garlic is lightly golden.
Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic butter sauce.
Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss gently with the linguine and sauce to combine and warm through, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately.
