Ingredients

Steak and Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 1 pound rump steaks (2 pieces / 450 g total)
  • Kosher salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Pasta

  • 10 ounces pasta like linguine or tagliatelle

Creamy Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3-4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups low-sodium beef stock
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (one packet)
  • 4 ounces crumbled blue cheese

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine according to package directions until al dente. Before draining, reserve 1 cup of pasta water for adjusting the sauce consistency.
  2. Prepare the Steak: Allow the rump steaks to come to room temperature for 15-20 minutes. Season generously with kosher salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. Cook the Steak: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Place steaks in the skillet and cook undisturbed for 4-6 minutes depending on thickness. Flip the steaks and cook for an additional 4-6 minutes, then drizzle with Worcestershire sauce.
  4. Rest and Slice Steak: Remove steaks from skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain juices. Slice steaks thinly across the grain.
  5. Make the Creamy Sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add chopped garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned. Pour in low-sodium beef stock and bring to a boil, scraping the skillet bottom to deglaze.
  6. Add Cream Cheese: Stir in cream cheese until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
  7. Toss Pasta in Sauce: Add the drained pasta to the skillet and stir to coat thoroughly. If the mixture is too thick, loosen by adding reserved pasta water a little at a time.
  8. Combine Steak and Blue Cheese: Remove skillet from heat. Add sliced steak along with any resting juices. Sprinkle crumbled blue cheese over the top and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Allowing the steak to rest after cooking seals in juices and enhances tenderness.
  • Using reserved pasta water helps to adjust sauce consistency and ensure the pasta remains moist.
  • Cook steak according to preferred doneness; timing listed is for medium with about 1-inch thickness.
  • Low-sodium beef stock keeps the sauce flavorful without excessive saltiness.
  • This dish pairs well with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables to balance richness.
