Ingredients

• 4 oz pasta (spaghetti, fettuccine, or linguine)
  
  

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
  
  

• 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
  
  

• Salt and pepper, to taste
  
  

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  
  

• 4 cloves garlic, minced
  
  

• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  
  

• ½ cup beef broth
  
  

• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  
  

• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  
  

Directions

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of the pasta water before draining.
   
   

2. Sear the Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the thinly sliced beef in a single layer, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for 3–4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef and set aside.
   
   

3. Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and Italian seasoning, sautéing for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
   
   

4. Deglaze the Pan: Pour in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet. Let the mixture simmer for 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly.
   
   

5. Combine Pasta and Beef: Return the cooked beef to the skillet, adding the drained pasta and reserved pasta water. Toss to combine, ensuring the pasta is well coated with the sauce.
   
   

6. Finish the Dish: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce becomes creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
   
   

7. Serve: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
