Creamy Steak Bites Spaghetti with Cherry Tomato Cream 🍝🔥
This is weeknight luxury done right—juicy steak bites seared until golden, tossed with silky spaghetti, and coated in a creamy cherry tomato sauce that’s rich, slightly sweet, and downright irresistible. It’s cozy, elegant, and packed with flavor in every twirl. 💛✨
📝 Ingredients:
12 oz spaghetti
1 lb steak (sirloin or ribeye), cut into bite-sized pieces
Salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1½ cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup grated parmesan
¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish
🔥 Instructions:
Cook the pasta: Boil spaghetti in salted water until al dente. Reserve ½ cup pasta water, then drain.
Sear the steak bites: Season steak with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak bites for 2–3 minutes per side until browned and juicy. Remove and set aside.
Build the sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Toss in cherry tomatoes and cook until softened and slightly blistered.
Make it creamy: Stir in heavy cream and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until lightly thickened.
Cheese time: Add parmesan and stir until smooth. Use reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
Bring it together: Add spaghetti and steak bites back to the skillet. Toss until everything is coated in that luscious tomato cream sauce.
Finish & serve: Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and extra parmesan.
💬 Why It Works:
The sweetness of cherry tomatoes melts into the cream, the steak stays tender and savory, and the spaghetti ties it all together into a dish that feels restaurant-worthy but totally doable at home. One pan, big flavor, zero regrets. 😍🍅🥩
