Ingredients

1 lb Flank Steak

12 oz Pasta of Choice

4 cups Fresh Basil

1/4 cup Unsalted Butter

Salt and Pepper to Taste

Optional: Parmesan Cheese

Optional: 20 oz Heavy Cream

Directions

In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

While the steak is cooking, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Stir in the heavy cream (if using) and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Add the cooked pasta to the saucepan with the garlic butter sauce. Toss to combine, adding some reserved pasta water if the sauce seems too thick.

Slice the cooked steak against the grain and serve on top of the garlic butter pasta. Enjoy!

Storage & Reheating

For best results, store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat by warming the pasta and sauce in a saucepan over low heat, then adding the cooked steak and heating until warmed through.
