• Make sure to cook the pasta al dente, as it will continue to cook slightly when tossed with the sauce.
• Let the beef rest before slicing to ensure it stays juicy and tender.

Storage and Serving

• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the pasta in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to prevent it from drying out.
• Serve the pasta with a side of fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
