Garlic Parmesan Steak Bites with Creamy Alfredo Pasta

1. Season steak cubes evenly with olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, dried parsley, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Let sit for 30 minutes if time allows.

3. In a pan, sear steak bites in butter over medium-high heat for 2 minutes on each side until browned.

4. Lower the heat, add garlic paste or minced garlic and 1/4 cup Parmigiano Reggiano to the steak. Toss to coat and remove the steak from the pan.

5. In the same pan, cook minced garlic until soft. Add kosher salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, parsley, and smoked paprika.

6. Stir in whole milk, 1/4 cup Parmigiano Reggiano, and reserved pasta water. Simmer gently until the sauce is smooth.
