  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Steak and Cooking

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 rump steaks (about 1 lb / 450 g total)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 sprig rosemary

Pasta

  • 8 oz (250 g) pasta

Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup (125 ml) low-sodium chicken stock
  • 1 cup (250 ml) heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan, grated
  • A handful of fresh parsley, roughly chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season and Sear the Steaks: Generously season your rump steaks with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the steaks and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until a brown crust forms.
  2. Add Flavor and Finish Cooking Steaks: Add butter, chopped garlic, and a rosemary sprig to the pan with the steaks. Spoon the melted butter over the steaks and cook until they reach your desired doneness. Remove steaks and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
  3. Cook Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1-2 cups of pasta water before draining.
  4. Start the Sauce: In a skillet (the same one used for the steak if large enough), melt the butter over medium-low heat.
  5. Sauté Garlic and Add Seasoning: Add the chopped garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the Italian seasoning, then pour in the chicken stock.
  6. Simmer and Add Cream: Let the mixture simmer for 1-2 minutes, then add the heavy cream. Continue to simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
  7. Combine Pasta and Steak with Sauce: Add the cooked pasta and sliced steak to the sauce. Stir in the grated Parmesan. If the sauce is too thick or dry, add reserved pasta water a little at a time to loosen it.
  8. Finish and Season: Stir in the chopped parsley and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  9. Serve: Serve the creamy steak pasta immediately, garnished with extra freshly grated Parmesan if desired.

Notes

  • Letting the steak rest before slicing helps retain its juices for a tender bite.
  • Reserving pasta water is key to adjusting the sauce consistency perfectly.
  • You can substitute rump steak with sirloin or ribeye for varying flavors and textures.
  • For a lighter option, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream, though the sauce will be less rich.
  • Fresh herbs like basil or thyme can be added alongside parsley for extra aroma.
