• servings: Yield: 4 servings
• total time: 1 hour 19 minutes

Ingredients

12 oz penne pasta

1 lb steak (sirloin, ribeye, or your choice), cut into bite-sized pieces

Salt and black pepper, to taste

2 tbsp olive oil

4 tbsp butter

5 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups broccoli florets

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Optional: crushed red pepper flakes or chopped parsley for garnish

Directions

Cook the pasta

Boil penne according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Sear the steak

Season steak pieces with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and sear the steak until browned and cooked to your liking (about 3–5 minutes). Remove from skillet and set aside.

Cook the broccoli

In the same skillet, steam or sauté broccoli florets for 3–4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Remove and set aside with the steak.

Make the garlic butter sauce

Lower heat to medium. Melt butter in the skillet, then add minced garlic. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, taking care not to burn the garlic.

Combine everything

Return steak and broccoli to the skillet. Add cooked penne and toss everything gently to coat in the garlic butter. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top and stir to combine.

Serve

Garnish with crushed red pepper flakes or chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately.
