Garlic Butter Steak Bites with Creamy Parmesan Pasta

Instructions

1. Cook the Pasta:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta until al dente.
Reserve ½ cup pasta water, then drain and set aside.

2. Sear the Steak Bites:

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Season the steak pieces with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
Sear the steak bites for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
Reduce heat, add butter and minced garlic, and cook for 30 seconds, stirring to coat the steak.
Remove steak bites from the pan and set aside.

3. Make the Creamy Parmesan Sauce:

In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute).
Pour in heavy cream and broth, stirring well.
Add Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and cayenne pepper.
Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring until smooth and creamy.
Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, tossing to coat. If needed, use reserved pasta water to thin out the sauce.

4. Assemble & Serve:

Plate the creamy pasta and top with the garlic butter steak bites.
Garnish with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan cheese.
