4. Add Cheese & Combine:
Whisk in the grated Parmesan until melted and smooth. If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water until it reaches your desired consistency. Add the drained noodles and toss to coat them evenly in the creamy garlic butter sauce.
5. Add the Steak:
Return the cooked steak (and any juices) to the skillet. Toss everything together and cook for another 1–2 minutes until warmed through and fully coated in the sauce.
6. Serve:
Plate the garlic butter steak noodles and garnish with chopped parsley, freshly cracked black pepper, or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. Serve immediately while hot and creamy.
