Ingredients
12 oz spaghetti
1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
2 cups baby broccoli (broccolini), trimmed
2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup whole milk
1¼ cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika
Optional: red pepper flakes, fresh parsley, cracked black pepper
Instructions
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti until al dente, adding baby broccoli during the last 3 minutes. Drain and reserve ½ cup of pasta water.
2. Season steak with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Sear in hot olive oil for 3–5 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, melt butter. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Pour in heavy cream and milk. Simmer 3–4 minutes, then stir in Parmesan cheese until smooth.
4. Return steak, pasta, and broccoli to the skillet. Toss gently to coat in the creamy sauce. Use reserved pasta water to loosen if needed.
5. Top with cracked black pepper, red pepper flakes, or parsley. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
Use freshly grated Parmesan for a silky Alfredo sauce that melts perfectly.
Make it your own by adding mushrooms, lemon zest, or truffle oil.
To store, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheat gently with a splash of cream or milk to restore texture.
