Instructions
Preparation Steps
Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
While pasta is cooking, season steak pieces with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook until browned on all sides, about 3-5 minutes. Remove steak from skillet and set aside.
Add butter to the same skillet. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
If using, add white wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 1 minute.
Add chicken broth and heavy cream to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the cooked steak and shrimp to the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp is pink and cooked through.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. You can also add sautéed mushrooms or spinach for more vegetables.
