Savor a rich and hearty Creamy Garlic Butter Steak Rigatoni, featuring tender steak bites tossed in a luscious garlic butter cream sauce over perfectly cooked rigatoni pasta.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz rigatoni pasta
  • 1 lb sirloin steak, sliced into strips
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Cook the rigatoni according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Season steak strips with salt and pepper.
  3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add steak strips and cook 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked to desired doneness. Remove steak and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons butter. Add minced garlic and sauté 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and sauce begins to thicken.
  6. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and stir until melted and sauce is smooth.
  7. Return steak to skillet and toss to coat in the creamy sauce. Add cooked rigatoni and mix until pasta is well coated.
  8. Season with additional salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
  9. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

For added freshness, serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a crisp green salad. You can also swap sirloin for ribeye or filet mignon for a richer flavor.
