Steak
- 1 lb steak (ribeye or sirloin), sliced
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Pasta
Butter Sauce
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Optional: chopped parsley for garnish
- Prepare the linguine: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to package instructions (usually 8-10 minutes) until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Cook the steak: Season the sliced steak with salt and black pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the steak slices for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest briefly.
- Make the cowboy butter sauce: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add the butter and allow it to melt. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
- Toss everything together: Return the cooked steak to the skillet with the butter and garlic sauce. Add the drained linguine. Toss everything well so the pasta and steak are evenly coated with the buttery garlic sauce.
- Serve: Plate the Cowboy Butter Steak Linguine immediately, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
- Use a high-quality steak like ribeye or sirloin for the best flavor and tenderness.
- To make it spicier, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter sauce.
- Make sure not to overcook the steak to maintain tenderness.
- Freshly minced garlic will provide the best flavor compared to pre-minced or powdered garlic.
