Add the shell pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente.
Before draining, reserve ½ cup of pasta water to use in the sauce.
Drain the pasta and set aside.
Step 2: Sear the Steak Bites
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add butter to melt.
Add the steak bites, season with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness.
Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3: Make the Alfredo Sauce
In the same skillet, add butter and garlic powder over medium heat. Stir for 30 seconds to bring out the flavors.
Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until smooth and creamy.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 4: Combine Everything
Add the cooked pasta and reserved pasta water into the Alfredo sauce, stirring to coat the pasta evenly.
Return the steak bites to the skillet and gently toss everything together.
Cook for 1–2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!
Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley (optional).
Serve warm and enjoy this creamy, savory masterpiece!
