# How to Make It:
01 -
Cook linguine in water with salt until al dente following pack directions. Drain in colander and set to the side.
02 -
Melt 1 tbsp butter in a hot skillet over medium-high flame. Sprinkle steak with salt and pepper, then cook about 3-4 mins each side for medium-rare doneness. Take beef out, let it sit a bit, then cut into thin slices.

Using the same pan, drop in the other tbsp of butter. Throw in your chopped garlic and cook for about a minute till you can smell it nicely.
04 -
Pour in heavy cream, add Parmesan, sprinkle black pepper and red pepper flakes into the pan. Mix everything together and let it bubble gently for 2-3 mins until it gets a bit thicker.
05 -
Dump the drained linguine into your sauce pan and flip around to get sauce all over the pasta.
06 -
Put pasta on plates and lay sliced steak on top. Eat right away while it's hot.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Sprinkle some fresh chopped parsley or basil on top for an extra kick of flavor.
02 -
Swap linguine with fettuccine or spaghetti if that's what you've got handy.
03 -
You can tone down or pump up the red pepper flakes depending on how spicy you like your food.
04 -
Add a splash of white wine to your sauce for deeper flavor notes.
