Creating a Creamy Steak and Pasta Dinner is a breeze when you follow these steps:
1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Steak: Season the sliced steak with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
