How To Make Creamy Paprika Steak Shells:
Step 1: Cook Pasta: Cook the 12 oz shell pasta in a large pot of salted water according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2: Season Steak: Meanwhile, season the 1 lb steak pieces generously with salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of the smoked paprika, tossing to coat evenly.
Step 3: Sear Steak: Heat the 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak bites and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until deeply browned but still tender inside. Remove the steak to a plate and set aside.
Step 4: Sauté Garlic and Paprika: Reduce the heat to medium and add the 1 tablespoon butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the 3 cloves minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, just until fragrant. Stir in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika.
