For the Pasta

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cook pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve ½ cup of cooking water before draining.
  2. Prepare steak: Season steak with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove and set aside.
  3. Sauté garlic: Reduce skillet heat to medium, add butter, and then garlic. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Deglaze and simmer: Pour in beef broth, scraping up browned bits. Simmer for about 2 minutes.
  5. Build cream sauce: Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Simmer for about 3-4 minutes until thickened.
  6. Combine pasta and steak: Add drained pasta to the sauce, using reserved pasta water as needed, then return the steak to the skillet.
  7. Plate and garnish: Serve immediately, garnished with parsley and additional Parmesan if desired.
