Description

Tender steak strips tossed with pasta in a luxurious mushroom and whiskey cream sauce—rich, savory, and restaurant-worthy.

Ingredients

Steak and Pasta

  • 1 lb steak (sirloin or ribeye), sliced
  • 8 oz pasta

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Sauce

  • 1/4 cup whiskey
  • 1 cup cream
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Optional Garnish

  • Parmesan cheese, grated
  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Cook Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Sear Steak: Heat a hot skillet or pan over medium-high heat and sear the sliced steak strips until browned on all sides but still tender inside, about 2-3 minutes per side depending on thickness. Remove the steak from the pan and set aside.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: In the same pan, melt the butter and sauté the sliced mushrooms, diced onion, and minced garlic until softened and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Deglaze with Whiskey: Pour in the whiskey, stirring and scraping the pan to deglaze and lift any browned bits. Allow the whiskey to simmer for 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly and cook off the alcohol.
  5. Add Cream and Broth: Stir in the cream and beef broth, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Combine Steak and Pasta: Return the seared steak strips to the pan and toss to coat them in the sauce. Add the cooked pasta and mix everything thoroughly to combine and heat through.
  7. Serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Optionally, garnish with grated parmesan cheese and freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For richer flavor, deglaze the pan with a mixture of whiskey and beef broth instead of whiskey alone.
  • Use half cream and half milk for a lighter sauce consistency and reduced richness.
  • Choose a good quality whiskey to enhance the depth of flavor in the sauce.
  • Be careful not to overcook the steak strips to maintain tenderness.
  • Pasta types like fettuccine, penne, or rigatoni work well for holding the sauce.
