1
Cook the Pasta
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2
Prepare the Steak
While the pasta is cooking, season the flat iron steak with salt and black pepper on both sides. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3
Sear the Steak
Once the skillet is hot, add the steak and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
4
Make the White Sauce
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5
Combine the Sauce Ingredients
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
6
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the cooked penne pasta to the sauce and toss to coat evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of pasta water to reach the desired consistency.
7
Serve
Slice the rested steak against the grain and serve it on top of the creamy pasta. Garnish with chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
