How to Make Black Pepper Beef Pasta: A Complete Guide

Black pepper beef pasta is a beloved dish, blending tender beef, al dente pasta, and a rich, peppery sauce. Here’s a step-by-step guide to create this restaurant-quality meal at home.

### Ingredients

For 2 servings: 200g beef sirloin, thinly sliced; 200g spaghetti; 2 tbsp olive oil; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1/2 onion, diced; 100ml beef broth; 100ml heavy cream; 2 tbsp black pepper (crushed for extra flavor); 1 tbsp soy sauce; 1 tsp sugar; Salt to taste; Fresh parsley for garnish.

### Instructions

1. Cook the Pasta: Boil spaghetti in salted water until al dente (8–10 mins). Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain. Set aside.

2. Sear the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large pan over high heat. Add beef slices, searing for 1–2 mins until browned. Remove and set aside.

3. Make the Sauce: In the same pan, sauté garlic and onion until fragrant (2 mins). Pour in beef broth, scraping up browned bits. Stir in heavy cream, crushed black pepper, soy sauce, sugar, and salt. Simmer for 3–5 mins until slightly thickened.

4. Combine: Return beef to the pan. Add cooked pasta, tossing to coat. Add reserved pasta water if too dry.

5. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley. Extra black pepper can be sprinkled on top for a bolder kick.
