Steak Carbonara
A rich, creamy pasta classic elevated with cubed steak and crispy bacon. Best paired with a glass of wine if you are over 21!
Ingredients
- Linguine noodles
- Cubed steak of choice
- Bacon (2 slices per 2 people)
- Eggs (1 full egg + 1 yolk per 2 people)
- Parmesan cheese
- Black pepper
- Salt (for boiling pasta)
Instructions
- Slice bacon into bite-size pieces.
- Place 1 full egg and 1 yolk in a large bowl. Whisk to combine, then stir in the parmesan and pepper.
- Bring water to a boil with salt. Add pasta and cook per the packet directions.
- Cook the steak to desired doneness, then set aside to rest.
- While the pasta is cooking, fry the bacon in a large pan until crispy. Do not drain the fat.
- Reserve ½ cup of pasta water before draining. Drain the pasta.
- Add the drained pasta to the bacon pan (heat off). Quickly pour in the egg/cheese mixture and toss vigorously, adding pasta water little by little until a creamy sauce forms. The residual heat cooks the eggs — do not overheat or they will scramble.
- Slice the steak and fold it in. Serve immediately with extra parmesan and cracked black pepper.
