Creamy Steak Pasta
This Creamy Steak Pasta is the perfect weeknight comfort food! Tender slices of seared steak are nestled in a rich, savory sauce made with beef broth, tomatoes, and heavy cream. Tossed with penne or rigatoni and finished with melty Parmesan, it’s a one-pot dinner that’s big on flavor and short on cleanup.
