Simple Ingredients for a Delicious Treat

Now, let’s talk about what makes this recipe shine. We’re talking about fresh, simple ingredients that you can find in any good pantry. You see, I’ve always believed that when you start with quality, you don’t need much else.

Let’s Make Some Magic: Step-by-Step

Alright, folks, let’s roll up our sleeves and get cooking. I’ll be right here with you, step by step.

First, season your rump steaks generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the steaks and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until a brown crust forms. Now, that’s what I call a good sear!

Next, add butter, chopped garlic, and a rosemary sprig to the pan. Spoon the melted butter over the steaks while cooking until done to your liking. Remove the steaks and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1-2 cups of pasta water before draining.

In the same skillet, melt butter and add chopped garlic. Cook over medium-low heat for 1 minute. Stir in Italian seasoning, then pour in chicken stock and simmer for 1-2 minutes.

Pour in the heavy cream and continue simmering until the sauce thickens slightly. Add cooked pasta and sliced steak to the sauce pan. Stir in grated Parmesan. If the pasta looks dry, add some reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce.

Finally, stir in chopped parsley. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately with extra Parmesan on top if desired.

A Few of My Favorite Tips

Here’s a little secret from my kitchen to yours: always let your steak rest before slicing. It keeps those juices right where they belong—in the meat! And don’t be shy with the Parmesan. A little extra never hurt anyone.

How I Like to Serve This

This dish pairs beautifully with a simple green salad or some roasted vegetables. And if you’re feeling indulgent, a glass of your favorite red wine will complement the flavors perfectly.

Storing & Reheating (If There’s Any Left!)

If you find yourself with leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, add a splash of cream or milk to loosen the sauce and warm gently over low heat.
