Sear the Steak:

Season steak with garlic powder, salt, and plenty of black pepper.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high.

Sear steak 2–3 minutes per side until golden with crisp edges. Remove and rest.

Melt butter in the same skillet. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute.

Pour in cream and stir in cream cheese until smooth.

Add Parmesan and seasoning. Simmer until rich and creamy.

Bring It All Together:

Toss shells and steak into the sauce. Stir gently until everything’s coated in garlic-Parmesan goodness. Simmer 1–2 minutes.
