Description
Garlic Butter Steak with Creamy Parmesan Rigatoni is a quick, indulgent dinner made with juicy steak, rich garlic butter, and velvety Parmesan cream sauce. Perfect for pasta lovers and steak night alike.
Ingredients
1 lb rigatoni
1 lb ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
3 tbsp butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook rigatoni until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season steak with salt and pepper, then sear until browned and cooked to desired doneness. Remove and set aside.
3. Lower the heat, add butter and garlic to the same skillet. Cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
4. Pour in heavy cream and stir. Simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, then stir in Parmesan until melted and smooth.
5. Add cooked rigatoni and steak to the skillet. Toss to coat. Add pasta water a little at a time if the sauce is too thick.
6. Serve hot, garnished with parsley and extra Parmesan if desired.
Notes
Use freshly grated Parmesan for the smoothest sauce.
Don’t overcook the steak—medium-rare to medium works best.
Add a splash of pasta water to loosen the sauce if it thickens too much.
