Instructions
1. **Cook the Pasta:**
– Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and toss with 1 tbsp olive oil to prevent sticking.
2. **Cook the Beef:**
– Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the beef slices with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
– Sear the beef for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. **Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce:**
– In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).
– Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.
– Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and beef broth, ensuring no lumps remain. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
– Stir in Parmesan cheese, nutmeg (if using), and season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. **Combine Pasta and Sauce:**
– Toss the cooked pasta in the creamy garlic sauce until well-coated. Add the cooked beef slices and toss gently to combine.
5. **Serve:**
– Plate the beef pasta and garnish with chopped parsley or basil. Sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese on top for extra indulgence.
