Linguine with Steak and Peppers

This is easily one of my three favorite dishes in my mother's repertoire. She only started making it five years ago, and whenever I'm home I ask for it. It takes well to substitutions, so go ahead and experiment.

Preparation
Step 1
Cut beef flank steak in half lengthwise. Slice each half into 1/8-inch-thick slices, cutting on the diagonal, against the grain of the meat.
Step 2
Cook linguine according to package directions (but don't add salt to the boiling water).
Step 3
Meanwhile, in a 5-quart Dutch oven or 12-inch skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add green onions and peppers and cook until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside in a large bowl.
Step 4
In same Dutch oven over high heat, add 3 more tablespoons of olive oil. When the oil is hot, cook the flank steak with 1/2 teaspoon of salt until the meat is tender and loses its pink color, about 3 minutes. Remove Dutch oven from heat, stir in olives, parsley, crushed red pepper, and vegetable mixture.
Step 5
Drain linguine, add it to meat mixture, and toss to combine. Season with salt. Transfer pasta to a serving bowl, tucking the provolone pieces into the pasta. If not serving right away, cover and refrigerate to serve chilled later.
