How to Make Steak Spaghetti Step by Step

Step 1: Cook the Pasta

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2: Sear the Steak

Season the steak with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat oil and cook the steak slices over medium-high heat until browned. Remove and set aside.

Step 3: Sauté Mushrooms and Onions

In the same pan, add butter and cook the sliced onions until soft. Add mushrooms and cook until they release moisture and turn golden.

Step 4: Add Garlic

Stir in minced garlic and cook for about a minute until fragrant.

Step 5: Make the Cream Sauce

Pour in broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Let it simmer gently until slightly thickened.

Step 6: Combine Everything

Return the steak to the pan, then add the cooked spaghetti. Toss everything together so the pasta is fully coated in the sauce.

Step 7: Finish and Serve

Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs, then serve warm.
