- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper

- ½ cup honey BBQ sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

👨🍳 Directions
1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak slices and sear until browned, 5–7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

3. Pour in the pasta, beef broth, and honey BBQ sauce. Bring to a boil.
4. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10–12 minutes, or until pasta is tender and the sauce is rich and thick.
5. Return steak to the pan, add cheddar cheese, and stir until everything is creamy and delicious.
6. Top with parsley and serve hot!
✨ Pro Tip:
Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick or a swirl of sour cream for extra creaminess!
