Why Make One-Pot Creamy Spicy Garlic Butter Steak & Pasta?

This recipe is a crowd-pleaser thanks to the bold flavors of spicy garlic butter paired with luscious steak and al dente pasta, all enveloped in a creamy sauce. One-pot cooking means easy cleanup and keeps every bite infused with rich flavor. The best part? It comes together quickly, so you can satisfy your cravings any day of the week.

Getting the Steak and Prep Just Right

The secret to tender steak? Start with even slices for the best sear and bite-sized pieces. For uniform chopping and saving time, try the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper—its sharp blades make prepping onions, peppers, or other add-ins effortless.

A quick marinate of steak pieces with olive oil, crushed garlic, salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes infuses deep flavor fast, making every bite pop.

Building Layers of Garlic Butter Flavor

Melt butter in a heavy, wide Bamboo Cutting Boards for Kitchen, Set of 3 (for prepping) and then a large skillet: let the garlic sizzle until fragrant. Don’t rush this step—it’s when the aromatics truly shine.

After a brief steak sear, deglaze the pan with broth or a splash of pasta water, scraping up every flavor-packed bit. The steak cooks quickly and stays beautifully tender.

Pasta and Cream Meet for Silky Perfection

With steak resting, add pasta directly to the same skillet—no need to precook! Pour in broth or water, stir, and simmer until the pasta is just al dente. Then, swirl in cream, parmesan, and a fresh grating of black pepper for a luxuriously smooth sauce.

To guarantee your steak is cooked perfectly (and not overdone), use a ThermoPro TP19H Digital Meat Thermometer for Cooking for quick, accurate readings.

Assembling and Serving for Maximum Flavor

Return the steak—and any delicious resting juices—to the pasta. Toss with a final knob of butter. Let everything mingle for a few minutes so the sauce thickens and every piece is coated. For an elegant, mess-free table setting, serve atop a Pureegg Plastic Table Cloth Disposable 10 Pack for stress-free entertaining.

Top with chopped parsley, extra red pepper flakes, or a squeeze of lemon for brightness. The flavors are bold, creamy, and endlessly satisfying.

Juicy steak, spicy garlic butter, creamy pasta, and one-pot simplicity—this recipe is your new favorite for both comfort and wow-factor. Big on flavor, low on cleanup, and guaranteed to please any appetite.

Ingredients

– 1 pound sirloin, ribeye, or New York strip steak, cut into ¾ inch cubes
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
– 6 large cloves garlic, minced
– 1–2 teaspoons red pepper flakes (more or less to taste)
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 12 ounces pasta (penne, rigatoni, or fettuccine work well)
– 3½ cups low-sodium beef broth
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
– Salt and black pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
– Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Using the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper, prep your onion and garlic for even, quick chopping. Cube your steak and season with salt, pepper, olive oil, garlic, and half the red pepper flakes. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. In a large SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter. Sear steak cubes for 2–3 minutes until just browned. Remove steak to a plate (it will finish cooking later).
  3. Lower the heat to medium. Add remaining butter, garlic, onion, and the rest of your red pepper flakes. Sauté until fragrant and onion softens, about 2–3 minutes.
  4. Add uncooked pasta and pour in beef broth. Stir, scraping up browned bits. Bring to a boil, then simmer, stirring occasionally, until pasta is al dente and most liquid is absorbed (about 10–12 minutes).
  5. Stir in cream and parmesan. Return steak and any juices to the skillet. Stir to combine and let everything heat through until sauce thickens and steak is cooked to your liking (test with the ThermoPro TP19H Digital Meat Thermometer for Cooking).
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon. For storing leftovers, use Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers to keep pasta fresh and flavorful.
