Ingredients
12 oz linguine pasta
1 lb beef sirloin or ribeye, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Pat the beef cubes dry and season them generously with salt and black pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Sear the beef cubes in batches, cooking each side for 2–3 minutes until golden brown. Set aside.
3. Cook linguine in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain.
4. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
5. Pour in the heavy cream and stir continuously. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.
6. Stir in Parmesan and mozzarella cheese until melted and smooth.
7. Add drained linguine to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Use reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce if needed.
8. Top with seared beef cubes. Sprinkle extra cheese on top if desired and broil briefly to melt.
9. Garnish with chopped parsley and additional black pepper. Serve immediately.
Notes
For extra tender beef, let it rest at room temperature for 15 minutes before searing.
Don’t skip reserving pasta water—it helps emulsify the sauce and creates that glossy finish.
Use freshly shredded cheese for better melt and smoother sauce consistency.
