Ingredients
- 2 ribeye, sirloin, or New York strip steaks
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- 8 oz pasta (fettuccine, penne, or linguine)

Instructions
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente, then drain and set aside.
