1. Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine or penne according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta and set it aside.

2. Prepare the steak: Season the sirloin or ribeye steak with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the steak for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet, let it rest, and then slice it into thin strips.

3. Make the sauce: In the same skillet used to sear the steak, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

4. Combine the pasta and steak: Add the cooked pasta and sliced steak to the creamy sauce, tossing everything together until the pasta is evenly coated and the steak is heated through.

5. Serve and enjoy: Plate the creamy steak pasta, garnishing with additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve the dish warm, and savor every bite of this comforting and indulgent meal.
