Instructions
1. Cook the Steak

3. Make the Creamy Garlic Parmesan Sauce
o In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
o Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
o Let the sauce thicken for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally until smooth and creamy. Stir in chopped parsley.
4. Serve
