Cook the pasta

• Bring salted water to a boil in a stockpot and cook the pasta until al dente.
• Reserve a little pasta water, then drain the pasta in a colander.

Sear the steak

• Season the steak generously with salt and black pepper.
• Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over high heat and sear the steak on both sides until browned and cooked to your liking.
• Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest, then slice it.

Make the garlic parmesan sauce

• Lower the heat, melt the butter in the same pan and cook the garlic until fragrant, without browning.
• Pour in the cream and simmer gently until slightly thickened.
• Stir in the grated parmesan until melted and smooth, loosening with a splash of pasta water if needed.

Combine and serve

• Add the drained pasta to the sauce and toss until well coated.
• Fold in the sliced steak and its resting juices.
• Serve straight from the pan with extra parmesan and black pepper.
