01 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
02 - 2 rump steaks (about 450 g total)
03 - Salt and pepper
04 - 2 tablespoons butter
05 - 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
06 - 1 sprig rosemary

→ For the pasta

07 - 250 g pasta
08 - 2 tablespoons butter
09 - 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
10 - 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
11 - 125 ml low-sodium chicken stock
12 - 250 ml heavy cream
13 - ⅓ cup Parmesan, grated
14 - A handful of fresh parsley, roughly chopped
15 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

# Steps:

01 - Season rump steaks generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the steaks and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until a brown crust forms.
02 - Add butter, garlic and rosemary sprig to the pan. Spoon the melted butter over the steaks until cooked to desired doneness. Remove steaks and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
03 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1-2 cups of pasta water before draining.
04 - Melt butter in a skillet (can use the same one used for cooking steaks). Add chopped garlic and cook for 1 minute over medium-low heat. Stir in Italian seasoning, then add chicken stock.
05 - Simmer for 1-2 minutes, then add heavy cream and continue to simmer for a couple of minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.
06 - Add cooked pasta to the pan together with sliced steak, then stir in grated Parmesan. Add reserved pasta water if needed to adjust consistency. Add chopped parsley, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately with extra freshly grated Parmesan if desired.

# Notes:

01 - This is a rich comfort food dish combining tender steak with a creamy, garlicky pasta.
