A delightful meal featuring succulent steak, vibrant broccoli, and a luscious Cowboy Butter sauce over linguine.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • Salt, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
  • 12 oz linguine
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • ½ cup reserved pasta water
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (plus extra for serving)

Instructions

  1. Cook the linguine: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add linguine and cook according to package instructions, usually about 9-11 minutes. Reserve about a half-cup of that precious pasta water before draining!
  2. Prepare the broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the boiling pasta water during the last 2-3 minutes of the linguine cooking time. Drain both together and set aside.
  3. Season and sear the steak: Season steak cubes with smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.
  4. Heat the oil: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned steak in a single layer.
  5. Sear the steak: Cook the steak for about 3-4 minutes on one side without moving it. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Add the butter and garlic: Reduce the heat to medium. Add the unsalted butter and minced garlic to the skillet.
  7. Incorporate the remaining ingredients: Add Dijon mustard, lemon juice, crushed red pepper flakes, chives, and herbs. Toss to combine.
  8. Combine linguine and broccoli: Add drained linguine and broccoli to the skillet along with reserved pasta water and Parmesan cheese. Toss well to coat.

Notes

This dish can be varied with spicy or cheesy options. Serve with additional Parmesan on top!
