Ingredients

Units Scale

Serves 4

  • For the steak:
    • 1 lb (450 g) steak (sirloin, ribeye, or filet), cut into bite-sized pieces
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • 3 cloves garlic, minced
    • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • For the pasta:
    • 300 g (10 oz) rigatoni pasta
    • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) heavy cream
    • 3/4 cup (75 g) grated Parmesan cheese
    • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
    • Salt and black pepper, to taste
    • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (plus extra for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta:
    • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the rigatoni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Prepare the steak bites:
    • Season the steak pieces with salt and pepper.
    • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak pieces in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
    • Reduce the heat to medium, melt the butter in the same skillet, and add the minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Toss the steak bites in the garlic butter, then remove and keep warm.
  3. Make the creamy Parmesan sauce:
    • In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
    • Stir in the heavy cream, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
    • Add the Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Combine pasta and sauce:
    • Add the cooked rigatoni to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly. Stir in the chopped parsley.
  5. Serve:
    • Plate the creamy Parmesan rigatoni and top with the garlic butter steak bites. Garnish with extra parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and smooth sauce texture.
  • Swap rigatoni for penne, fettuccine, or your favorite pasta shape.
  • For a richer flavor, deglaze the skillet with a splash of white wine before adding the cream.
