Cook the fettuccine or penne according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Season the steak with salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the steak for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness. Remove from skillet and let rest before slicing.

In the same skillet, add heavy cream and balsamic vinegar. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat it in the sauce.

Stir in the sliced steak and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined.

Serve immediately.
