Instructions

• Cook the pasta in salted water until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
• Season the steak with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the steak strips until browned and just cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Lower the heat to medium. Add the vodka sauce and heavy cream to the skillet and stir until smooth and gently bubbling.
• Add the drained pasta and toss with the sauce, loosening it with reserved pasta water as needed.
• Return the steak to the skillet, toss briefly, and serve with Parmesan if using.
