Ingredients
  

For the Steak Bites
  • 1.5 pounds sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes High-quality steak recommended
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

For the Pasta and Sauce
  • 8 ounces twisted pasta Any pasta shape can be used
  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and melt butter over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the sirloin steak cubes to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until browned on all sides, approximately 4-5 minutes.
  3. While the steak is cooking, boil the twisted pasta according to the package instructions. Once done, drain and set aside.

  5. Mix the cooked pasta with the Cajun Alfredo sauce until well combined. Serve the garlic butter steak bites generously on top. Enjoy every bite!

Notes

For an appealing presentation, serve in individual bowls, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Pairs well with garlic bread and a crisp green salad. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
