Description
A rich and savory garlic butter steak pasta made with tender seared steak bites tossed with rigatoni in a creamy garlic butter sauce.
Ingredients
- 12 oz rigatoni pasta
- 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-size pieces
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the rigatoni pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Season the steak bites with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak bites and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add beef broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Simmer for 3–4 minutes to slightly thicken.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
- Add the cooked rigatoni and steak bites back into the skillet. Toss everything together until well coated in the garlic butter sauce.
- Simmer for an additional 1–2 minutes, then garnish with parsley and serve.
Notes
- You can substitute ribeye or strip steak for extra tenderness.
- Add red pepper flakes for a mild heat.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for the creamiest sauce.
