Garlic Steak Bites with Spaghetti Aglio E Olio Pasta

Last night I made Garlic Steak Bites with Spaghetti Aglio E Olio Pasta and it was OH so good! I combined two recipes, one for the Steak Bites HERE and one for the Pasta HERE. I didn't take a lot of pictures because I didn't plan on making a blog but it was so good fresh that I couldn't resist. It also took a lot and awhile to make but so worth it! Please comment below if you make it and let me know what you think!

Garlic Steak Bites Ingredients
- 1 1/4lbs sirloin steak, cut into cubes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp minced garlic

Garlic Steak Bites Marinade Ingredients
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- fresh cracked black pepper

Garlic Steak Bites Directions
In a mixing bowl, combine the ingredients for the steak marinade. Add the steak, mix well and marinate in the fridge for 15 minutes minimum. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain steak bites from the marinade and add to the pan. Cook steak bites about 10-15 minutes per side. Add some of the extra marinade on top and stir occasionally until steak bites are brown. Once all the steak bites are brown, add 2 tablespoons butter and garlic to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Remove the steak bites and set aside.

Spaghetti Ingredients
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 package dried spaghetti
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
- A few pinches of salt
- A few shakes of oregano or basil seasoning

Spaghetti Directions
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. While boiling, heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic to the pan as well as a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. Start cooking the spaghetti noodles in the boiling water, about 8-9 minutes. When the outside edges of the garlic are brown in the pan, add one cup of the pasta water to the pan. Keep in mind that there is oil in the pan so adding pasta water will make it pop so be careful as you pour. While the noodles are cooking, shake the pan every 20 seconds or so to create an emulsion, until the oil and water mixture no longer have the raw garlic flavor. When the pasta is al dente, drain and add it to the pan along with basil or oregano. Serve immediately (it won't be as good if you reheat it).
