🔥 Instructions:

1. Cook the Pasta:

   • Boil salted water and cook pasta until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain.

2. Marinate the Steak:

   • In a bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, olive oil, crushed red pepper, salt, and pepper.

   • Toss sliced steak in marinade. Let sit for at least 10–15 minutes.

3. Sear the Steak:

   • Heat a skillet over medium-high. Sear steak slices 2–3 minutes per side until caramelized and cooked to desired doneness. Set aside.

4. Make the Sauce:

   • In the same pan, reduce heat to medium. Add butter and garlic, sauté until fragrant (about 1 min).

   • Stir in chili flakes, honey, soy sauce, and sriracha. Simmer until slightly thickened (2–3 min).

5. Combine:

   • Add cooked pasta to the sauce, toss to coat. Use reserved pasta water to loosen if needed.

   • Return steak to the pan, mix well. Sprinkle with Parmesan if using.

6. Serve:

   • Garnish with green onions or parsley.

   • Serve hot with garlic bread or a crisp salad.
