Delicious Garlic Beef Pasta Recipe – Easy Weeknight Meal


  • Author: Jessica

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb beef tips (sirloin, ribeye, or flank steak), trimmed and cubed
  • 8 oz wide egg noodles or pappardelle
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef
    • Trim any fat from the beef and cut it into bite-sized cubes. Season generously with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of garlic powder.
  2. Cook the Beef
    • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  3. Sauté Garlic and Onion
    • In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Make the Sauce
    • Add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and dried thyme to the skillet. Simmer for 5 minutes to reduce slightly. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese (if using).
  5. Combine Beef and Sauce
    • Return the seared beef to the skillet and let it simmer in the sauce for 5-7 minutes, or until tender and fully cooked.
  6. Cook the Pasta
    • Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  7. Assemble the Dish
    • Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the beef and sauce. Toss to coat the noodles evenly.
  8. Serve and Enjoy
    • Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot. Enjoy with a side of crusty bread or a fresh green salad.
