Ingredients

For the Steak Bites

• 1 lb (450 g) sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized pieces

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 2 tablespoons butter

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

• ½ teaspoon paprika (optional)

For the Fettuccine

• 12 oz (340 g) fettuccine pasta

• 3 tablespoons butter

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• ½ cup heavy cream (optional, for creamier sauce)

• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

Garnish (optional)

• Fresh parsley, chopped

• Extra Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1.  Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente.

Reserve ½ cup pasta water, then drain and set aside.

2.  Sear the Steak Bites

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat.

Season steak pieces with salt, pepper, and paprika.

Add steak to the hot pan in a single layer and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your preference.

Remove steak from the pan and set aside.

3.  Make the Garlic Butter Sauce

Reduce heat to medium. In the same skillet, add butter and garlic.

Sauté for 30–60 seconds until fragrant (do not brown).

Stir in heavy cream if using, then add Parmesan cheese. Mix until smooth.

4.  Combine Pasta and Sauce

Add cooked fettuccine to the skillet. Toss to coat in the garlic butter sauce.

Add reserved pasta water a little at a time if needed to loosen the sauce. Season with salt and pepper.

5.  Finish the Dish

Return steak bites to the skillet and gently toss everything together for 1–2 minutes until heated through.

6.  Serve

Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan. Serve hot.

Tips

• For extra richness, add a splash of white wine to the pan before the butter.

• Swap cream for more pasta water for a lighter garlic butter version.

• Best served immediately for juicy steak and silky pasta.

This dish delivers tender, flavorful steak bites paired with silky fettuccine coated in a rich garlic butter sauce - comfort food with a steakhouse
