Steak Selection: Choose tender cuts like sirloin or ribeye, slicing against the grain for maximum tenderness in final dish.

Heat Control: Don't overcrowd steak in pan and maintain high heat for proper searing without steaming the meat.

Sauce Consistency: Whisk cream gradually to prevent lumps and use pasta water to adjust thickness for perfect coating.

Cheese Quality: Use freshly grated Parmesan for best melting properties and superior flavor compared to pre-grated varieties.

Pasta Timing: Start pasta when beginning sauce to ensure both components finish simultaneously for optimal serving temperature.

Make-Ahead Magic: Sauce base can be prepared ahead and reheated gently - add steak just before serving for best texture.
