Slice steak against the grain for tenderness and keep the pan hot to achieve a quick sear without overcooking. Prep all veggies before you start cooking so the stir-fry step moves quickly and the vegetables stay crisp. Use any short pasta you like, but cook it 1 minute shy of al dente since it will finish in the skillet. Adjust the amount of pasta water to create a light, silky sauce that clings to the noodles; add more Parmesan for extra body. If substituting a different steak cut, such as sirloin, reduce cook time slightly. For a creamier version, stir in 2 to 3 tablespoons mascarpone or a splash of heavy cream at the end. Season at the end to taste with salt, lemon, and heat so the flavors pop.
