Ingredients
Linguine Pasta:
12 oz linguine pasta
Beef:
1 lb thinly sliced beef (sirloin or flank steak)
Garlic Butter Sauce:
3 tbsp unsalted butter, 1 tbsp olive oil, 4 cloves garlic minced, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional), 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper
Additional:

Instructions
- Cook Linguine: Cook linguine according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain and set aside.
- Sear Beef: Season beef with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter. Add beef and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Remove beef and set aside.
- Prepare Garlic Butter Sauce: Reduce heat to medium, add remaining butter, garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the skillet, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Combine Ingredients: Add cooked linguine to the skillet, tossing to coat in garlic butter. Stir in Parmesan cheese and enough reserved pasta water to create a silky sauce. Return beef to skillet and toss until heated through.
- Serve: Garnish with parsley and serve with extra Parmesan.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add sautéed mushrooms or spinach when cooking the garlic.
