Ingredients

Scale
  1. For the Pasta:
    • 12 oz rigatoni pasta
  2. For the Steak Tips:
    • 1 lb steak tips, cut into bite-sized pieces
    • 3 tablespoons butter, divided
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 4 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  3. For the Sauce:
    • 1 cup heavy cream
    • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
    • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  4. Optional Garnish:
    • Fresh parsley, chopped
    • Extra Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Cook the Pasta:
    • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the rigatoni until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • Sear the Steak Tips:
    • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
    • Season the steak tips with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
    • Sear the steak in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your liking. Remove and set aside.
  • Make the Garlic Butter:
    • In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
    • Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Prepare the Cream Sauce:
    • Pour in the heavy cream and sprinkle in the Italian seasoning.
    • Stir and bring to a gentle simmer, then mix in the Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  • Combine Everything:
    • Return the cooked rigatoni to the skillet and toss to coat it in the sauce.
    • Add the steak tips back to the skillet and drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of butter. Gently toss to combine.
  • Serve:
    • Garnish with fresh parsley and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Use your favorite steak cut for the tips, such as sirloin or ribeye, for the best flavor.
  • Adjust the creaminess of the sauce by adding more or less heavy cream.
  • If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
