Season the steak on both sides with salt and black pepper. Let it rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
While the pasta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the steak.
Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the time based on your preferred doneness. Remove the steak, let it rest on a cutting board, and cover with aluminum foil.
Reduce the skillet heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and butter. Mince the garlic and sautΓ© it in the butter and oil mixture until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream and reserved pasta water, stirring constantly. Simmer the cream sauce for 3-4 minutes, then stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until smooth.
Slice the rested steak into thin strips or bite-sized pieces.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the cream sauce and toss to coat evenly. Stir in the red pepper flakes if you like some heat.
Gently fold in the sliced steak and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
