Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season steak pieces with salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Sear steak for 2 to 3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to desired doneness. Remove from skillet and set aside.

For extra creaminess, add ¼ cup reserved pasta water while tossing the pasta. Use a high-quality steak for optimal flavor and tenderness. Leftovers can be gently reheated on the stovetop with a splash of butter or olive oil.
