Spicy Garlic Butter Steak with Cheddar Cream Rotini

👨‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Cook the pasta

  • Boil rotini in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Make the cheddar cream sauce

  • In a saucepan, melt butter and whisk in flour to form a roux.
  • Slowly add milk, stirring until thickened.
  • Add cheddar, Parmesan (if using), salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
  • Stir until smooth and creamy. Toss with cooked rotini.

3. Sear the steak

  • Season steaks with salt, pepper, and chili flakes.
  • Sear in a hot skillet with butter until desired doneness.
  • Add garlic in the last minute of cooking to infuse flavor.
  • Let rest, then slice thinly.

4. Assemble

  • Plate rotini, top with sliced steak, and drizzle with spicy garlic butter from the pan.

🌟 Tips:

  • Add sautéed mushrooms or caramelized onions for extra richness.
  • Swap cheddar for smoked gouda or pepper jack for a twist.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley or chives for color and freshness.
