1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

For the Pasta:
12 oz fettuccine or pasta of choice

Step 1: Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook fettuccine according to package instructions.

Step 2: Cook the Steak
Season the steak with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes per side (or until desired doneness).
Add butter & minced garlic, basting the steak for extra flavor.
Let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
Step 3: Make the Alfredo Sauce
Melt butter in a pan over medium heat, then sauté garlic until fragrant.
Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
Stir in Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Add a splash of reserved pasta water for extra silkiness.
Step 4: Assemble & Serve
Toss the fettuccine in the creamy sauce.
Arrange the sliced steak over the pasta.
Garnish with fresh parsley & extra Parmesan.
