Notes

Pat the steak cubes dry before seasoning for a better sear. Don’t rush the sauce; let the cream simmer for a silky texture. Fresh garlic enhances flavor; prefer it over pre-minced. Reserve pasta water helps to adjust sauce consistency. Enjoy twirling your rotini for a creamy sauce experience!
