For the Steak Bites

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika

  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes

For the Pasta

  • 12 oz pasta (fettuccine, linguine, or penne)

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • ¾ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Extra Parmesan cheese

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Pasta

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

Step 2: Season the Steak

Pat steak cubes dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and Italian seasoning. Dry steak ensures a perfect sear.

Step 3: Sear the Steak Bites

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak cubes in a single layer, working in batches if needed.

Sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned and caramelized. Remove steak from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4: Make the Garlic Butter

Lower heat to medium. Add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for 30–60 seconds until fragrant (do not brown).

Return steak bites to the skillet and toss gently in the garlic butter. Remove from heat and keep warm.
