Description
This One-Pan Steak Bites & Cheesy Garlic Butter Noodles recipe is a fast and flavorful meal made with juicy seared steak, creamy garlic butter noodles, and a cheesy sauce. Everything is cooked in a single skillet for minimal cleanup and maximum comfort food satisfaction.
Ingredients
1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cubed
8 oz rotini pasta
3 tbsp butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups water
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tbsp chopped parsley (optional)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp of butter. Once melted, add cubed steak in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper. Sear each side for 2–3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add remaining butter and garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
3. Pour in water and bring to a simmer. Add rotini pasta and cook uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until tender and water is absorbed.
4. Lower the heat. Stir in heavy cream, mozzarella, and parmesan. Mix until cheese melts and sauce becomes creamy.
5. Return steak bites to the skillet. Toss everything together to coat well. Garnish with parsley and serve hot.
Notes
For best sear, don’t overcrowd the skillet—work in batches if needed.
Stir pasta occasionally while simmering to prevent sticking.
Use freshly shredded cheese for a smoother, creamier sauce.
