While the pasta cooks, pat the beef slices dry with paper towels and season with 1 tsp salt. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the beef in a single layer ā work in two batches if needed to avoid crowding ā and sear undisturbed for 2 minutes, then stir and cook 1 minute more, until the beef is browned on the outside and no longer pink at the center, reaching 160Ā°F (71Ā°C) on an instant-read thermometer. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
