Preparation Steps
Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
While pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes. Remove steak from skillet and set aside.
Add chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the paprika and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Reduce heat to low, stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Cook until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes.
Return the cooked steak to the skillet and stir to coat with the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to combine with the steak and sauce.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
