Method
 

Directions
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add 12 oz of penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 10-12 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain.
  2. Season 1.5 lbs of sirloin steak on both sides with 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet and sear the steak for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Let it rest.
  3. In the same skillet, melt 4 tbsp of butter and sauté 6 minced garlic cloves for 30 seconds. Pour in 2 cups of heavy cream, add 1 tsp of Italian seasoning, and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Gradually whisk in 1.5 cups of freshly grated Parmesan cheese until melted. Adjust consistency with reserved pasta water if needed.
  5. Add the penne pasta to the sauce, tossing to coat. Slice the rested steak and fold it back into the skillet to reheat.
  6. Serve the Garlic Parmesan Steak Pasta on plates, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
