Sweet and Spicy Garlic Steak Pasta: A Flavorful Fusion of Bold & Savory Flavors. This garlic pasta recipe combines tender steak with a deliciously sweet and spicy garlic sauce.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225g) of high-quality spaghetti or your preferred pasta
  • 1 lb (450g) of flank steak or sirloin, sliced thin
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup of honey or maple syrup for sweetness
  • 2 tbsp of soy sauce or tamari for umami flavor
  • 12 tsp of red pepper flakes for spice
  • 2 tbsp of olive oil or vegetable oil
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: sliced red chili peppers for extra heat

Instructions

  1. Boil a large pot of salted water. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Season the sliced steak with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak and cook until browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Add the remaining oil to the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  5. Stir in the honey or maple syrup, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. Return the cooked steak to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the sauce.
  7. Add the cooked pasta and toss again to combine all flavors. Cook for an additional minute to meld together.
  8. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro and extra red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Add a splash of water or extra oil when reheating to maintain texture.
