Ingredients
- 1 pound of beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 pound of pasta (your choice, but I love using fettuccine)
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
- Parmesan cheese, grated, for serving
Don’t have beef sirloin on hand? Ground beef works just as well! And if you’re looking to make it a tad healthier, substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half.
Instructions
- Begin by heating olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced beef sirloin and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the beef broth, heavy cream, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes or until the sauce has slightly thickened.
- While the sauce is simmering, cook your pasta according to the package instructions. Once done, drain and set aside.
- Return the cooked beef to the skillet, combining it with the cream sauce. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Combine the cooked pasta with the beef cream sauce, tossing to ensure the pasta is well coated. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
Here’s a little tip from my kitchen to yours: if you find the sauce too thick, add a splash of pasta water to achieve your desired consistency. This little trick has saved many a sauce in my kitchen!
