Ingredients
Scale
Pasta
- 8 ounces pasta (fettuccine, penne, or your choice)
Steak
- 1 pound steak (sirloin or ribeye, sliced thinly)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Vegetables & Flavorings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 cup spinach (fresh)
- Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Sauce
- 8 ounces Boursin cheese (garlic and herb flavor)
- 1/2 cup beef broth (or reserved pasta cooking water)
Instructions
- Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
- Cook the Steak: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 3–4 minutes until browned and cooked to your liking. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cherry tomatoes. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften. Add the spinach and cook for 1–2 minutes until wilted.
- Make the Sauce: Reduce the heat to low and add the Boursin cheese. Stir until melted and creamy. Pour in the beef broth (or reserved pasta water) and stir to form a smooth sauce.
- Combine Everything: Return the cooked steak and drained pasta to the skillet. Toss until the pasta and steak are fully coated in the creamy sauce. Taste and adjust with more salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve: Serve warm and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Notes
- You can substitute beef broth with pasta cooking water to keep the sauce light and flavorful.
- Use either fettuccine, penne, or any pasta of your choice to suit your preference.
- For a richer flavor, let the steak rest a few minutes after cooking before slicing.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, especially after combining all ingredients.
- This recipe works well with sirloin or ribeye steak, but other tender cuts can also be used.
