- 12 oz rigatoni pasta
- 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
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
- Cook the rigatoni pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season steak tips with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Sear in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium, add 2 tablespoons of butter, and melt. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream, add Italian seasoning, and stir. Bring to a gentle simmer, then mix in mozzarella and Parmesan cheese until smooth.
- Return the cooked rigatoni and seared steak tips to the skillet. Drizzle with remaining butter and toss to combine.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- Choose high-quality steak tips for better flavor.
- Aim for medium-rare to medium doneness for the steak.
- Keep the heat low when making the cream sauce to avoid curdling.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
