Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz linguine
  • 1 lb steak (sirloin or ribeye), cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cups carrots, sliced into thin sticks or coins
  • 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss carrot slices with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 15 to 20 minutes until tender and lightly caramelized.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook linguine according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season steak pieces with salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Sear steak for 2 to 3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to desired doneness. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, melt butter with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and red pepper flakes if using.
  5. Add cooked linguine to the skillet, tossing to coat in the cowboy butter sauce. Return steak and roasted carrots to the skillet and toss gently to combine.
  6. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan and chopped parsley. Toss lightly and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  7. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Tips for perfect steak: sear quickly to avoid toughness and allow it to rest before slicing. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
