Description
A quick and easy dish that combines juicy steak, hearty pasta shells, and a creamy paprika sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Steak (sirloin works wonders)
- 8 oz Pasta Shells (about 2 cups)
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 cup Chicken Broth
- 2 tbsp Paprika
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- Olive Oil for cooking
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Boil water in a large pot, add pasta shells, and cook according to package instructions (8-10 minutes) until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a cup of pasta water.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season steak with salt, pepper, and paprika, then sear for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove from skillet, let rest, and slice.
- Add more olive oil to the skillet if needed. Sauté onion and garlic until translucent (2-3 minutes). Pour in chicken broth and scrape the skillet to release flavors.
- Stir in heavy cream and remaining paprika. Simmer for 5 minutes, adjusting thickness with reserved pasta water if necessary.
- Combine cooked pasta and sliced steak in the skillet. Stir until everything is well combined and heated through (1-2 minutes).
Notes
Garnish with parsley or chives and consider adding grated cheese on top for extra flavor.
