Fill a large pot with the water and one quarter of the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook for 10 to 12 minutes until al dente. Reserve 1/3 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta.
While the pasta water heats, season the steak strips with the black pepper and the rest of the salt. Heat half the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak in a single layer and cook for 2 minutes, flip, and cook for 2 minutes more until browned. Done when browned and cooked through, 145°F.
Transfer the steak to a plate. Reduce the skillet heat to medium and add the remaining oil and the garlic. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add 2 tablespoons of the reserved pasta water and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Add the cooked pasta, steak, and Parmesan to the skillet. Pour in 3 tablespoons of the reserved pasta water. Toss for 2 minutes, adding more pasta water a tablespoon at a time, until the cheese melts into a loose sauce. Fold in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and parsley.
