Florida Steak and Creamy Garlic Pasta

Ingredients

Preparation

Preheat a medium cast iron or saute pan over medium-high heat. Season the steak lightly with sea salt and fresh ground pepper. Add the oil to the preheated pan. Carefully add the seasoned sirloin steaks to the pan. Cook the steak for 2 minutes on each side until desired internal temperature is reached (about 130 to 140 degrees for medium rare). When desired temperature is reached, remove the steak from the pan and let rest.

In the same pan the steak was cooked in, add the butter and mushrooms. Cook the mushrooms for about 4 minutes. Add the halved cherry tomatoes, lemon juice, chopped herbs, seasoning blend and garlic. Cook ingredients for another minute or 2. Add the heavy cream and vegetable stock and let reduce slightly. Add the cooked pasta and arugula. Heat ingredients and stir to coat and combine.  Taste pasta for seasoning, and season with salt and pepper if needed. Remove from heat and set aside.

To serve, slice the steak against the grain. Season the sliced and cooked steak lightly with sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste. Serve the steak on top of the pasta. Garnish with Parmesan cheese.
