Ingredients

1 lb steak (such as flank steak or sirloin), thinly sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 small onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to heat preference)

1 cup heavy cream

4 cups beef broth

12 oz pasta (penne or fusilli works great)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large pot. Add the sliced steak and cook until browned on all sides (4-5 minutes). Remove and set aside.

  • In the same pot, add diced onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

  • Add buffalo sauce, heavy cream, and beef broth. Stir to combine and bring to a boil.

  • Reduce heat to medium, add uncooked pasta, and stir. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  • Once the pasta is al dente, return the steak to the pot and stir in. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  • Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Variations: Swap steak for chicken, use a different pasta, or add extra veggies for a twist.

  • Make it milder: Use less buffalo sauce or opt for a milder hot sauce. Adding more cream can also balance out the heat.

  • Storage & Reheating: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of broth to keep the sauce creamy.
