Steak Farfalle Pasta With Creamy Tomato Sauce Recipes

STEAK PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and generously season with salt. Add pasta and cook to al dente, according to package instructions.
• Add 2 tablespoons of oil to a large, skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat and allow to come to temperature.
• Pat the steak dry with paper towels, then rub it with 1 tablespoon of oil and season 1 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt and a 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Rub all over to adhere. Sear the steak for 5 minutes on the first side, turn, and sear for 5 minutes more. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
• Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan, followed by the onion, and sauté until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and sundried tomatoes, and sauté for about 1 minute more.
• Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir until the mixture looks pasty. Very slowly, stream in the warmed milk and stir until no lumps remain. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and allow to lightly simmer for 5 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
• Add the cheese, along with 1 teaspoon Kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and the red pepper flakes. Stir until cheese is melted. Then, add the spinach in three additions, stirring just until wilted.
• Slice the beef into thin strips cutting against the grain, and cut into bite-sized pieces, if desired. Add steak to the sauce, serve over your favorite pasta, and enjoy!
