👩🍳 Instructions
1. Cook Pasta:
- Cook pasta shells according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Cook Steak Bites:
- Season steak cubes with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter.
- Add steak and sear 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to desired doneness.
- Add garlic during the last 1 minute of cooking and toss. Remove from skillet and set aside.
3. Make Creamy Parmesan Shells:
- In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant.
- Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Add Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and creamy.
- Toss in cooked pasta shells until well coated. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Combine & Serve:
- Plate the creamy Parmesan shells and top with garlic butter steak bites.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme.
💡 Tips:
- Let steak rest a few minutes after cooking for juicier bites.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for the creamiest sauce.
- Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce for a slight kick.
If you want, I can also give you a one-pan version where the steak and pasta cook together for even faster cleanup. Do you want me to share that version?
