For the steak

  • 1 pound rump steak Can substitute with sirloin or flank for a leaner option.
  • to taste kosher salt and pepper Brings out the flavors of the steak.
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce Adds depth; can substitute with soy sauce.
For the pasta
  • 10 ounces linguine or tagliatelle pasta Any long pasta works well.
For the sauce
  • 2 tablespoons butter Adds richness; for a lighter option, use olive oil.
  • 3-4 garlic cloves (finely chopped) Garlic powder can be used if fresh isn’t available.
  • 1.5 cups low-sodium beef stock Chicken stock can be used for a milder taste.
  • 8 ounces cream cheese Creating a luscious texture; Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
  • 4 ounces crumbled blue cheese Feta or goat cheese can be used as alternatives.

Method
 

Cooking the Pasta
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
Cooking the Steak
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steaks with kosher salt and pepper, and sear for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove from skillet and let rest before slicing.
Making the Sauce
  1. In the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté the garlic until fragrant.
  2. Pour in the beef stock and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any bits stuck to the pan. Let simmer for about 3 minutes.
  3. Lower the heat, add the cream cheese, stirring until melted and well combined. Use reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.
Combining Ingredients
  1. Toss in the cooked pasta and crumbled blue cheese, mixing until the pasta is evenly coated.
  2. Slice the rested steak and serve atop the creamy pasta, garnished with extra blue cheese if desired.

Notes

Reserve pasta water to adjust sauce consistency. For a vegetarian version, swap steak for sautéed mushrooms and use vegetable broth.
