Step-by-Step Instructions for Cowboy Butter Steak Linguine
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and slice the carrots into uniform pieces, toss them in olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast for 15-20 minutes until tender.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil, add linguine, and cook until al dente (about 8-10 minutes). Drain pasta, reserving a cup of pasta water.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Season steak and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, then let it rest on a plate.
  4. In the same skillet, reduce heat, add butter and minced garlic, stirring for 30 seconds. Mix in lemon juice and Dijon mustard, add red pepper flakes if desired.
  5. Add the linguine to the skillet, tossing to coat with sauce. Slice the steak and add it back along with roasted carrots, stirring gently for a minute.
  6. Mix in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning if needed and garnish with parsley before serving warm.
