# Ingredients:
→ Steak Prep

450 g steak (choose sirloin, filet, or ribeye), trimmed and chunked
02 -
2 tbsp olive oil
03 -
2 tbsp unsalted butter
04 -
3 cloves garlic, minced nice and small
05 -
Salt as needed
06 -
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
→ Pasta + Sauce
07 -
300 g rigatoni noodles
08 -
2 tbsp unsalted butter
09 -
2 garlic cloves, minced
10 -
360 ml heavy cream
11 -
75 g Parmesan, grated fresh
12 -
Half a teaspoon Italian herbs blend
13 -
Salt as needed
14 -
Black pepper, ground fresh, to taste
15 -
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (extra for sprinkles)
# Instructions:
01 -
Spoon the creamy Parmesan pasta onto plates. Layer over the garlicky steak pieces. Shower with more parsley. Dive in while it’s hot.
02 -
Toss your cooked rigatoni in the skillet with the creamy sauce. Fold in the parsley. Make sure it’s covered in all that saucey goodness.
03 -
Sprinkle the Italian herbs and Parmesan into the sauce. Stir till melted and getting thick. Try it and add salt and pepper if needed.
04 -
Drop the rest of the butter in the skillet, medium heat. Toss in garlic, let it cook briefly. Stream in the cream and let it quietly bubble for a couple minutes, giving it a stir now and then.
05 -
Lower the heat. Use that same skillet: melt the butter, throw in the garlic, sizzle it for a minute or two. Toss the steak chunks back in, get them shiny with garlicky butter, then take them out so they stay warm.
06 -
Season your steak cubes with salt and pepper. Warm up olive oil in a big pan on medium-high. Spread out steak so each piece gets brown all over, about 3 minutes each side, then move them to a plate.
07 -
Fill a big pot with salted water, bring it to a strong boil. Drop in your rigatoni, cook till just right as the label says. Drain it well and put it aside.
# Notes:
01 -
You’ll get a silkier sauce if you grate the Parmesan yourself.
02 -
Try adding a splash of dry white wine to the skillet before the cream for a deeper taste.
03 -
You can swap rigatoni for something like penne or fettuccine—pick your favorite.
