Ingredients
Method
- Bring salted pasta water to a boil.
- Pat steaks dry and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil and 1 tbsp butter. Sear the filets until the internal temperature reaches 125–130°F.
- During the last 30–60 seconds of cooking, add 1 tbsp butter and baste the steaks. Remove the steaks from the skillet, let them rest for 3–5 minutes, then slice.
- Cook the pasta until just shy of al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
- Lower the heat to medium-low. Add the remaining 1 tbsp butter to the skillet and sauté the shallot for 1–2 minutes until soft.
- Add the garlic and cook for 20–30 seconds.
- Pour in the heavy cream and simmer for 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the parmesan and parsley until the sauce is smooth.
- Toss the pasta in the sauce, adding pasta water as needed until the sauce is glossy and reaches the desired consistency.
- Plate the pasta, top with the sliced steak, and finish with extra parmesan, parsley, and black pepper.
Notes
- Make sure to let the steaks rest after cooking to retain their juices.
- Reserve pasta water before draining to adjust the sauce consistency.
- Use freshly grated parmesan for the best flavor and texture.
- Cook the pasta just shy of al dente as it will continue to cook when tossed in the sauce.
