Ingredients
Instructions
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Finely dice the tomato.
- Pat the sirloin steak dry with paper towels; season all over with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest.
- Once the water is boiling, add the gluten-free linguine to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 1-3 minutes. Reserve ¾ cup of pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.
- In the same pot over medium heat, add a drizzle of oil and the tomato paste. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. Add the chicken stock concentrates, garlic powder, reserved pasta cooking water, cream cheese, half the Tuscan Heat Spice and ½ teaspoon sugar. Whisk to combine and cook until slightly thickened, 30-60 seconds more.
- Turn off the heat. Stir in the basil paste and 1 tablespoon butter until melted. Add the diced tomato and drained linguine; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Slice the rested steak against the grain. Divide the pasta between shallow bowls and top with the sliced steak. Serve immediately.
Recipe Tips
For best results, let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.
If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen it up.
Feel free to substitute the sirloin with chicken breast or thighs for a different protein.
