Steak and Pasta are quick and easy for weeknight cooking. Garlic Steak & Lemon Pasta is a deliciously simple dish that is full of flavor and ready in under 30 minutes! The silky lemon cream sauce comes together so simply and the pairs perfectly with the bold flavors of garlic and pepper on the steak.
Pasta is made for fast weeknight meals. They are the perfect vessel for sauces, meats, and veggies. You can really through together whatever you have in the fridge and almost always come out with something great. You can also do lots of different styles of cooking – that’s why I love pasta so much!
You want to make sure you sauce the pasta and add some on top of the steak. The sauce is what brings it all together and you want to be sure that everyone gets enough of it. You could also make this sauce with shrimp or chicken instead of the steak, if you wanted to.
This dish probably needs a side salad or some garlic bread to go with it. You could also do some roasted broccoli or zucchini (put on a baking sheet, drizzle with oil, garlic, salt and pepper and bake at 400deg for 20 minutes).
