Ingredients
  

12 oz fettuccine pasta

1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

5 cloves garlic, minced

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

1 tablespoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

Salt and black pepper to taste

1 cup beef broth

¼ cup heavy cream

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Sear the Steak: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once hot, add the steak pieces, season with salt and black pepper, and sear until browned (about 3-4 minutes). Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.

      Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining butter. Once melted, add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.

        Add Tomatoes and Spices: Stir in the cherry tomatoes, smoked paprika, dried thyme, and red pepper flakes. Cook until the tomatoes start to soften, about 3-4 minutes.

          Deglaze the Skillet: Pour in the beef broth, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes, then stir in the heavy cream.

            Combine Steak and Pasta: Return the sautéed steak to the skillet. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing well to combine everything and let the pasta absorb the flavorful sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on low heat.

              Finish with Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

                Serve: Divide the pasta onto plates, garnishing with chopped fresh parsley. Enjoy your Sweet & Smoky Garlic Butter Steak Pasta!
