Ingredients
1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cubed
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbsp butter (for steak)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
12 oz rigatoni pasta
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, grated
2 tbsp butter (for sauce)
1 tsp Italian seasoning or dried parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Heat a skillet and sear steak cubes with olive oil, butter, salt, and pepper until browned. Set aside.
2. In the same skillet, add garlic and butter. Return steak and toss with garlic butter. Garnish with parsley.
3. Cook rigatoni pasta until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water.
4. In a saucepan, melt butter, sauté garlic, add cream, then parmesan. Stir until smooth.
5. Toss rigatoni with sauce, add pasta water as needed, and season to taste.
6. Serve steak bites with creamy pasta and extra herbs or parmesan.
Notes
Let steak rest before tossing it in garlic butter to retain juiciness.
Freshly grated parmesan melts better than pre-shredded.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for subtle heat.
