📋 Ingredients:
- 8 oz pasta (fettuccine or spaghetti) 🍝
- 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain 🥩
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste) 🌶️
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey 🍯

👩🍳 Directions:
1️⃣ Boil the Pasta
Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
2️⃣ Sauté the Aromatics
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 1 minute, just until fragrant.

Add sliced flank steak to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Sear until browned and caramelized, about 4–5 minutes.
