– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions
Creating your own Creamy Garlic Butter Steak & Pasta is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:
1. Cook Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare Steak: While the pasta cooks, season the steak with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. Sear Steak: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the steak and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest.
4. Make Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
5. Add Cream: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously. Allow it to bubble gently for 2-3 minutes.
6. Incorporate Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
7. Combine: Slice the rested steak into strips and add it along with the cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together to coat the pasta and steak in the creamy sauce.
8. Garnish: Serve immediately, garnishing with freshly chopped parsley and red pepper flakes if desired.
By following these steps, you will have a delicious dish that is both comforting and impressive!
