Time to roll up those sleeves and get cooking. Here’s how to make this delicious dish:

1. Start by seasoning the steak pieces with salt, pepper, and paprika. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steak bites and sear them on all sides until browned and cooked to your liking, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4. Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt, then pour in the heavy cream. Stir well to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.
5. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until it melts and the sauce thickens. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
6. Meanwhile, cook the fettuccine according to package instructions. Drain and add to the creamy sauce, tossing to coat the pasta evenly.
7. Return the steak bites to the skillet, gently stirring them into the pasta and sauce.
8. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve hot.

This method is straightforward, and each step builds on the last to create a dish that feels like a warm hug in a bowl.
