Creamy Pepper Pasta with Sliced Steak

Method

• Cook the pasta in salted boiling water for 2 minutes less than packet instructions. Drain, setting aside 1 cup of pasta water.
• Season the steaks with garlic salt and pepper, drizzle with a little olive oil.
• Heat a frying pan over a high heat and cook the steaks to your desired doneness. Set aside on a warm plate, cover with foil.
• To the same pan, add a little more oil and pan fry the mushrooms and season – set aside.
• In a separate frying pan, melt the butter and add 2 teaspoons of freshly ground black pepper. Let the butter get slightly browned.
• Lower the heat and add ⅔ cup of pasta water, whisking well.
• Add in the crème fraiche and parmesan and whisk until well combined.
• If the sauce is too thick, add in a little more pasta water.
• Add the pasta into the sauce to heat through.
• Tip any steak resting juices into the mushrooms.
• Serve the pasta with sliced steak and seasoned mushrooms on top.
