Luxurious pasta dinner for two (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ For the steak

01 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
02 - 2 rump steaks (about 1 lb / 450 g total)
03 - Salt and pepper
04 - 2 tablespoons butter
05 - 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
06 - 1 sprig rosemary

→ For the pasta

07 - 8 oz (250 g) pasta
08 - 2 tablespoons butter
09 - 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
10 - 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
11 - 1/2 cup (125 ml) low-sodium chicken stock
12 - 1 cup (250 ml) heavy cream
13 - 1/3 cup Parmesan, grated
14 - A handful of fresh parsley, roughly chopped
15 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

# Instructions:

01 - Season your rump steaks generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the steaks and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until you see a brown crust.
02 - Add the butter, garlic and rosemary sprig to the pan with the steaks and spoon the melted butter over the steaks. Cook until they're done to your liking. Remove the steaks and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
03 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then cook your pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1-2 cups of pasta water before draining the pasta.
04 - Melt the butter in a skillet (it can be the same one you cooked the steak in if it's big enough). Add the chopped garlic and cook for 1 minute over medium-low heat. Stir in the Italian seasoning, then the chicken stock.
05 - Simmer for 1-2 minutes, then add the heavy cream and continue to simmer for a couple of minutes until the sauce starts to thicken.
06 - Add the cooked pasta to the pan together with the sliced steak, then stir in the grated Parmesan. Add a bit of the reserved pasta water if the pasta looks too dry.
07 - Add the chopped parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the creamy steak pasta immediately, with a bit of extra freshly grated Parmesan on top if you like.

# Notes:

01 - This creamy steak pasta is comfort food at its best — a mix of juicy steak and cheesy, garlicky pasta everyone will simply fall in love with.
