Ingredients:
For the Steak:
2 ribeye steaks (or your preferred cut)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp fresh thyme (or dried)
1 tbsp butter (optional, for basting)
For the Noodles:
8 oz egg noodles (or pasta of choice)
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream or chicken broth (for a lighter option)
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Cook the Steaks:
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
Rub the steaks with olive oil, and season generously with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and thyme.
Grill or pan-sear the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or cook to your preferred doneness. Baste with butter in the last minute of cooking for extra flavor.
Let the steaks rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Prepare the Noodles:
Cook the noodles according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the heavy cream (or broth) and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 3-5 minutes until it slightly thickens.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the cooked noodles and toss to coat in the sauce. Finish with fresh parsley.
Assemble the Dish:
Serve the sliced steak on top of the creamy noodles or alongside for a beautiful presentation.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: This dish pairs well with a side of steamed vegetables or a simple green salad. For extra richness, a glass of red wine such as Cabernet Sauvignon can complement the steak's flavors.
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the noodles gently in a pan with a little extra cream or broth to keep them creamy. The steak can be reheated separately in a skillet or microwave.
Variations:
Steak Options: While ribeye is a great choice, you can use filet mignon, flank steak, or sirloin for different flavor profiles.
Noodle Choices: Swap egg noodles for spaghetti, fettuccine, or even zoodles (zucchini noodles) for a low-carb option.
Sauce Variations: For a different sauce, try a mushroom cream sauce or a garlic butter sauce for the noodles to give it an earthier depth.
