Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (454 g) eye of round steaks (or preferred cut)
- 12 oz (340 g) rotini noodles, uncooked
- 2 ½ cups (590 ml) heavy cream
- ¼ cup (57 g) butter
- ⅔ cup (75 g) shredded parmesan cheese
- 3 tbsps garlic puree
- 1 tbsp Montreal steak spices
- 1 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
Instructions
- Pasta Preparation: Cook rotini in salted water according to package directions, drain, and reserve in a colander.
- Steak Seasoning: Liberally coat steaks with oil and sprinkle generously with steak spice on both sides.
- Searing Technique: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, then carefully place seasoned steaks to create a caramelized crust, cooking 3-4 minutes per side until reaching medium-rare (130-135°F).
- Steak Resting: Transfer cooked steaks to a cutting board, tent with foil to preserve warmth and moisture, allowing juices to redistribute.
- Sauce Foundation: Quickly clean skillet, reduce heat to medium, and melt butter with minced garlic until aromatic.
- Cream Sauce Development: Pour heavy cream into the skillet, season with salt and pepper, bringing to a gentle simmer and thickening for 2-3 minutes.
- Pasta Integration: Reduce heat, fold rotini into the creamy sauce, ensuring complete coating.
- Cheese Incorporation: Sprinkle parmesan into the skillet, stirring until fully melted and smoothly integrated.
- Plating Finale: Slice steaks against the grain, arrange atop creamy pasta, and serve immediately while piping hot.
Notes
- Sear Steak Perfectly: Use a hot skillet and avoid moving the meat while cooking to develop a beautiful caramelized crust that locks in juices.
- Check Doneness Accurately: An instant-read thermometer is crucial for achieving precise medium-rare steak at 130-135°F without overcooking.
- Rest Meat Strategically: Tenting the steak with foil allows juices to redistribute, ensuring each slice remains tender and flavorful.
- Prevent Sauce Separation: Simmer cream sauce gently and stir occasionally to maintain smooth, creamy consistency without breaking or curdling.
