Easy Steak Pasta (Steak Spaghetti)

1. Get out and measure your ingredients.

Marinara Sauce

1. Heat oil and garlic in skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant (but not browned), about a minute.
2. Stir in tomatoes and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in basil, sugar and season with salt to taste.

Grilled Steak

1. Combine salt and cornstarch.
2. Pat steaks dry with paper towel and rub with salt mixture.
3. Arrange on wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet and freeze until steaks are firm and dry to touch, at least 30 minutes, up to 1 hour.
4. Season steaks with pepper.
5. Grill over hot fire and cover until well browned and cooked to desired doneness; 4 to 8 minutes per side.

Easy Broiled Steak Recipe

1. Check the notes section for the cooking time based on the size of the steaks you are using.
2. Adjust oven racks to upper-middle and lower-middle positions and preheat oven to 375 degrees.
3. To reduce smoking, trim as much unnecessary outside fat and gristle as possible from each of the steaks BEFORE they go on grill.
4. Spread 2 cups of salt all across the bottom of your deep disposable foil pan. This will prevent smoking and absorb grease.
5. Pat steaks dry with paper towel, season liberally with salt and pepper and place on wire rack.
6. Place rack on top of your aluminum foil pan and place it on lower middle rack inside oven.
7. Cook for 6 to 10 minutes before removing pan from oven. Timing will depend on the thickness of your steaks according to the Easy Broiled Steak Timing Chart above.
8. Flip steaks over and pat dry with paper towel. Allow to rest for 10 minutes while preheating the broiler.
9. Transfer pan to the upper-middle oven rack and broil your steaks, flipping every 2 to 4 minutes, until meat registers 125 to 130 degrees (for medium-rare); 6 to 16 minutes.
10. If you like steaks well-done, continue cooking and flipping as directed until the steaks reach desired internal temperature.

Pan Fried Steaks

1. Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet until very hot for a good sear and crust. Thoroughly drying the steaks is also key. Otherwise steaks will steam and become soggy and not sear.
2. On stove, turn top element to high heat and ensure heavy bottomed skillet is big enough to hold steaks. Allow to get hot; about 5 minutes.
3. In the meantime, liberally sprinkle both sides of steaks with salt and pepper.
4. Reduce heat to medium.
5. Add enough oil to skillet (lightly coat) so steaks don't stick!
6. Place steaks inside skillet, leaving space between each steak.
7. Without moving steaks around ,cook until well browned; about 5 minutes.
8. Using tongs, flip steaks and cook 3 more minute for rare; 4 minutes for medium-rare and 5 minutes for medium.

Rest Steaks and Serve

1. When steaks are cooked, transfer to plate, tent with foil and let rest 5 minutes.
2. Place cooked pasta inside a bowl.
3. Cover with sauce and add your sliced steak to top. Sprinkle fresh grated parmesan cheese on top if desired.
4. Enjoy every bite!
