Steak Spaghetti Recipe

Serves: 4
Time: 30–40 minutes

Ingredients:

• 12 oz spaghetti
• 1 lb steak (ribeye, sirloin, or NY strip), sliced thin
• Salt & pepper, to taste
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
• Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• Grated Parmesan to serve

Instructions:

1. Cook the pasta:
   Boil spaghetti in salted water until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain.
2. Season the steak:
   Pat the steak dry, and season generously with salt and pepper.
3. Sear the steak:
   In a large skillet over high heat, heat 1 tbsp olive oil. Sear steak slices 1–2 minutes per
   side until browned but still tender. Remove and set aside.
4. Make the sauce:
   In the same pan, lower heat to medium. Add remaining olive oil, garlic, and onion.
   Sauté 2–3 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, cook for 1 minute, then add crushed
   tomatoes, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 8–10 minutes. Season to taste.
5. Combine:
   Toss cooked spaghetti into the sauce. Add a splash of pasta water if needed for
   looseness. Stir in the steak slices just before serving to keep them tender.
6. Serve:
   Plate it up with grated Parmesan and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
