Description

Spicy seared steak tips served in a rich, creamy Parmesan rigatoni, ready in under 30 minutes.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb steak tips
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • 8 oz rigatoni pasta
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish


Instructions

  1. Cook rigatoni pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Season steak tips with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add steak tips and cook until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
  5. Add the cooked rigatoni and steak tips into the sauce. Toss to combine and heat through.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For best results, keep the sauce gentle and avoid high, rolling boils. Adjust seasoning just before serving. Adding reserved pasta water can help adjust sauce thickness.
