Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
- Season the steak well with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. When the oil shimmers, add the steak. Sear for 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your preferred doneness. Look for a deep brown crust.
- Transfer the steak to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes. After resting, slice against the grain into thin strips.
Cooking
- Use the same skillet on medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir and watch the edges thicken slightly.
- Stir in the shredded cheese until the sauce becomes smooth and glossy. If it looks too thick, loosen with a splash of pasta water.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the cheesy sauce. Heat through for a minute.
- Plate the pasta, top with sliced steak, grate on Parmesan, and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Notes
Time-saver: Cook pasta and steak simultaneously on separate burners. Overheat the cream will break; instead, simmer gently and stir constantly. For a twist, add red pepper flakes while sautéing the garlic.
