Indulge in this creamy garlic butter steak pasta featuring juicy steak and rigatoni in a rich Parmesan sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz rigatoni pasta
  • Salt (for pasta water)
  • 1 ½ lbs sirloin or ribeye steak
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
  2. Pat steak dry and season generously with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Sear steak 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove and rest 5 minutes, then slice.
  4. In the same pan, reduce heat to medium. Melt butter and sauté garlic 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Pour in beef broth and simmer 2 minutes, scraping up browned bits.
  6. Add heavy cream and let it gently simmer until slightly thickened (3–4 minutes).
  7. Stir in Parmesan until melted and silky. Add red pepper flakes if using.
  8. Toss cooked rigatoni into the sauce. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if needed for extra creaminess.
  9. Top with sliced steak, extra Parmesan, and fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Let steak rest before slicing for juicy results
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for smooth melting
  • Don’t overcook pasta — it finishes in the sauce
