# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Steak Bites

01 - Salt, use as much as you like
02 - Freshly ground black pepper, your call on quantity
03 - 4 garlic cloves, chopped up small
04 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
05 - 450 g beef steak, cut into mini cubes

→ Creamy Parmesan Shells

06 - Fresh parsley, chopped rough, to toss on top
07 - 100 g Parmesan, grated super fine
08 - 240 ml heavy cream
09 - 225 g pasta shells

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Spoon the cheesy shells and steak onto plates, toss some parsley over everything, and enjoy it nice and warm.
02 - Toss the drained shells in with your steak and sauce, give it all a good stir so every piece is coated. Let it warm through for a minute or two.
03 - Drop those browned steak bites into the cheesy sauce, stir until everything’s covered nice and even.
04 - Pour heavy cream in the same skillet, stir in Parmesan, keep whisking on medium until it’s all smooth and dreamy.
05 - Boil your shell pasta in plenty of salted water, cook until they’ve got a little bite left. Drain them well and set aside, but don’t rinse.
06 - Sprinkle salt and pepper over steak cubes, toss them into your pan, and cook till they get a nice color on all sides—should take about 5 to 7 minutes. Lift them out and keep them snug and warm for later.
07 - Pour olive oil in a big skillet on medium-high, throw in garlic and stir until it smells amazing.

# Extra Tips and Tricks:

01 - Want it lighter? Swap heavy cream for half-and-half. Feel free to use chicken or shrimp instead of steak if that sounds good.
