Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Cook the pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2: Make the creamy Parmesan sauce
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to form a roux. Slowly add the milk, whisking constantly, until smooth. Stir in Parmesan cheese, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the sauce thickens. Toss the cooked pasta shells in the sauce and keep warm.
Step 3: Cook the garlic butter steak bites
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and let it melt. Toss in the steak cubes, season with salt and pepper, and cook 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness. Add minced garlic in the last minute and toss to coat.
Step 4: Serve
Plate the creamy Parmesan shells and top with the garlic butter steak bites. Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley for a pop of color and extra flavor.
