Garlic Butter Steak Bites Creamy Parmesan Shells

There’s something special about juicy, garlicky steak bites paired with rich, creamy Parmesan pasta. It’s the perfect one-pan meal that feels fancy but is easy to make!

Ingredients:

For the steak bites:

1 lb sirloin steak (cut into bite-sized pieces)

3 tbsp butter

1 tbsp olive oil

3 cloves garlic (minced)

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp Italian seasoning

½ tsp smoked paprika

Salt & pepper (to taste)

2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

For the creamy parmesan shells:

2 cups medium shell pasta

1½ cups heavy cream

1 cup grated parmesan cheese

½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 tbsp butter

1 tsp garlic powder

½ tsp onion powder

Salt & pepper (to taste)

Instructions:

Cook the pasta:

Boil the shell pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Prepare the steak bites:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak pieces and season with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, and Worcestershire sauce. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness.

Add garlic & butter:

Reduce heat to medium, add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet, and cook for 30 seconds, stirring to coat the steak in the butter-garlic mixture. Remove from heat and set aside.

Make the creamy parmesan sauce:

In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well and bring to a simmer.

Combine pasta & cheese:

Reduce heat to low and stir in the parmesan and mozzarella cheese until melted and smooth. Add the cooked shell pasta, stirring to coat evenly.

Assemble & serve:

Plate the creamy parmesan shells and top with the garlic butter steak bites. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Enjoy!
