### The Ingredients You Will Need:

To get that perfect contrast between the juicy seared steak and the ultra-smooth cream sauce, here is everything you need to gather:

**For the Steak Bites:**

 * **1.5 lbs (700g)** Sirloin or Ribeye steak, cut into 1-inch bite-sized cubes.

 * **2 tablespoons** Olive oil.

 * **2 tablespoons** Unsalted butter.

 * **1 teaspoon** Garlic powder.

 * Salt and freshly cracked black pepper (to taste).

**For the Creamy Pasta:**

 * **10 oz (300g)** Fusilli or Rotini pasta (the twists hold the sauce perfectly!).

 * **4 cloves** Garlic, finely minced.

 * **1 cup** Heavy cream (or whipping cream).

 * **1/2 cup** Beef broth (or pasta water) to deglaze the pan.

 * **1/2 cup** Freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

 * **1 teaspoon** Paprika (for that beautiful golden color).

 * **1 tablespoon** Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish).

### Step-by-Step Directions:

 1. **Cook the Pasta:** In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the fusilli pasta according to the package instructions until *al dente*. Drain and set aside (reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water just in case).

 2. **Sear the Steak:** Pat the steak cubes dry with a paper towel and season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add the steak cubes in a single layer. Sear for **2 minutes** without moving them to get that beautiful brown crust, then flip and cook for 1 more minute. Remove the steak from the pan and set aside on a plate—don't overcook it!

 3. **Build the Cream Sauce:** Turn the heat down to medium. In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the beef broth to scrape up all the delicious browned bits from the pan.

 4. **Make it Velvety:** Stir in the heavy cream and paprika. Bring to a simmer for 2-3 minutes until it starts to thicken. Turn off the heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese until completely melted.

 5. **Combine & Serve:** Toss the cooked pasta into the creamy sauce until well coated. Top with the juicy steak bites and garnish with fresh parsley and extra black pepper. Serve immediately and enjoy!
