Ingredients

Steak Ingredients:
1 1/2 lb. new york strip steak
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp smoked paprika
2 tsp oregano 
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp black pepper
3/4 tsp salt

 

Sauce Ingredients:
12 oz. penne pasta
3 tbsp butter
2 tbsp onion paste
2 tsp italian seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp minced garlic 
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 cups heavy cream
2 tbsp gluten free flour, can use regular flour if no gluten allergy
4 oz. parmesan cheese shredded

Directions

  1. Cook the pasta in a  large pot with boiling water according to the package directions for al dente. Once the pasta is done cooking, drain the water and set the pasta aside.
  2. In a small bowl mix paprika, salt, oregano, garlic powder, thyme, and black pepper. Then, generously season both sides of the steak with the dry seasoning mix.
  3. Preheat your circulon 12 quart pan to medium with two tablespoons of oil. Sear the steak for 4 minutes on both sides until the steak reaches 135 to 165 degrees internal depending on how you want your steak cooked. Once the steaks are done, set them aside to rest on a cutting board.
  4. Reduce your heat to medium low and melt your butter into the same pan. Now add in Italian seasoning, salt, garlic powder, onion paste and minced garlic. Let that cook for about 1 minute.
  5. Next, add your flour and whisk well. Make sure you are scraping the bottom of the pan.
  6. Add in your chicken broth and heavy cream. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes until a thick sauce forms.
  7. Once the sauce begins to thicken, add the parmesan cheese and stir until it is completely melted. Let that cook for 1 to 3 minutes or until you have reached your desired consistency.
  8. Finally, add your cooked pasta back into the pan and turn the heat off. Gently stir to coat the pasta evenly. Slice your steak and add it into the pasta before stirring well. Add a fresh garnish and enjoy!
