- 1 tsp Paprika

Instructions
- Prepare and Cook the Steak: Season steak pieces with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Heat 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your liking. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Pasta: In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp butter, heavy cream, and penne pasta. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender and creamy. Add splashes of water or broth if needed.
- Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: Reduce heat to low, add minced garlic, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in red pepper flakes.
