Ingredients

  • Kosher salt
  • 12 oz. fettuccine
  • 1 lb. sirloin steak
  • 2 tbsp. vegetable oil 
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp. butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • 2 c. milk
  • 1/2 c. freshly grated Parmesan
  • 1 tbsp. freshly chopped parsley
  • 1 1/2 c. halved cherry tomatoes
  • 4 c. baby spinach
  • 2 tbsp. balsamic glaze (1/3 c. balsamic vinegar simmered for about 10 minutes)

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente according to package directions. Reserve ½ cup pasta water before draining. Return pasta to pot.

  2. 2

    Coat both sides of steak with oil and season generously with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook steak to desired doneness, 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a plate to let rest for 10 minutes. Thinly slice steak.

  3. 3

    In skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until softened and fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in flour and cook 1 minute more, then slowly add milk, whisking to break up lumps, and simmer until thickened, 5 minutes. Add Parmesan and parsley and season with salt and pepper. Add tomatoes and cook until bursting, 2 to 3 minutes.

    Add cooked pasta and ¼ cup reserved pasta water to skillet and toss to combine, adding more pasta water as needed. Add spinach and toss until wilted.
