🔪 Instructions

1. Cook the Pasta:

   • Boil salted water and cook pasta according to package directions until al dente.

   • Drain and reserve about ½ cup of pasta water.

2. Cook the Steak:

   • Pat steak dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.

   • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

   • Sear steak 3–4 minutes per side (for medium-rare), or to your liking.

   • Let rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.

3. Make the Sauce:

   • In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium.

   • Add butter and garlic, cooking until fragrant (about 30 seconds).

   • Pour in heavy cream, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan.

   • Stir until smooth; simmer for 2–3 minutes.

   • If too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water.

4. Combine:

   • Add cooked pasta to the sauce, toss to coat.

   • Add sliced steak and toss gently until heated through.

5. Serve:

   • Garnish with fresh parsley, extra Parmesan, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using).
