Ingredients
- 1–1.5 lb New York strip steak (or ribeye, sirloin, filet)
- 1 teaspoon smoked sweet paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 12–16 oz gluten‑free farfalle pasta
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup minced onion
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (for sauce)
- 2 tablespoons gluten‑free flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup reserved pasta water
- 1 1/2–2 cups freshly shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Cook pasta in salted boiling water until just al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, drain, and set aside.
- Mix paprika, oregano, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper; rub over both sides of the steak.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium‑high heat. Sear steak 3–4 minutes per side (or to desired doneness). Remove steak and let rest 10 minutes.
- In the same skillet, melt butter and add minced onion. Cook until fragrant, ~2–3 minutes.
- Sprinkle gluten‑free flour over the onions and stir to form a roux. Slowly whisk in chicken broth and heavy cream to create a smooth sauce.
- Cook sauce over medium heat until it thickens, stirring frequently.
- Stir in parmesan cheese until silky. Add cooked pasta and toss to coat, adding reserved pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce.
- Slice rested steak into strips and gently fold into the pasta Alfredo. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Substitute steak cuts like ribeye, sirloin, or flat iron for variation.
- Add red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
- Use short pasta shapes like penne or rigatoni if farfalle isn’t available.
- Use plant‑based cream/butter for a dairy‑free version (texture may vary).
- Extra parmesan or a quick broil adds a golden cheesy finish.
