Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 NY Strip Steaks NY Strip Steaks
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 8 ounces dried spaghetti
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 sweet pepper diced sweet pepper
- 1 whole Fresno chile, sliced
- 1 2 red chili flakes
- 1 2 dried dill
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces fresh claw crabmeat
- 1 3 cup drinkable white wine
- 1 2 granulated onion
- 1 2 granulated garlic
- 1 2 lemon pepper seasoning
- 1 4 cayenne pepper
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 cups fresh baby spinach
- 1 juice and zest from 1 lemon
- 1 to taste Pecorino Romano cheese
Instructions
- Season the NY Strip Steaks generously with flaky kosher salt and black pepper. Let them rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add a generous amount of salt, then cook the spaghetti for 6 minutes until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add avocado oil. Once hot, carefully sear the steaks until a golden crust forms, about 4-5 minutes per side. Add butter, thyme, rosemary, and smashed garlic cloves to the skillet. Baste the steaks with the melted butter and herbs for added flavor, then set aside to rest.
- In the same skillet, lower the heat and add diced onion and sweet pepper. Cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the Fresno chile, crushed red chili flakes, dried dill, and minced garlic, stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the fresh claw crabmeat to the skillet, then deglaze the pan with non-alcoholic white wine, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in the granulated onion, granulated garlic, lemon pepper seasoning, and cayenne pepper.
- Pour in the heavy cream, mixing well. Gradually add the cooked spaghetti and a splash of pasta water to achieve your desired sauce consistency. Stir to combine and allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld.
- Turn off the heat and fold in the Fresno chilies, chopped parsley, fresh baby spinach, lemon juice, lemon zest, and Pecorino Romano cheese. Adjust seasoning with flaky kosher salt and black pepper to taste.
- Thinly slice the rested steaks against the grain and arrange them on top of the creamy garlic noodles.
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley and cheese, if desired. Enjoy your gourmet meal!
