Savor a delightful dinner with these flavorful garlic butter steak tips alongside creamy, cheesy rigatoni that will warm your heart and satisfy your cravings!
Ingredients:
- 1 lb steak tips, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 12 oz rigatoni pasta
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions:
1. Begin by cooking the pasta. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the rigatoni and cook until al dente, approximately 8-10 minutes. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
2. Next, sear the steak tips. While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak tips generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Cook the steak in batches for about 2-3 minutes on each side until nicely browned and cooked to your liking. Once browned, remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium to prepare the garlic butter. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter, then add the minced garlic. Sauté for approximately one minute, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant and golden.
4. For the creamy sauce, pour the heavy cream into the skillet and add the Italian seasoning. Stir well and allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer. Gradually mix in the grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella, stirring continuously until the sauce reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.
5. Now, it’s time to combine everything. Add the cooked rigatoni to the skillet, and gently toss to coat the pasta in the creamy sauce. Return the steak tips to the skillet and drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of butter. Carefully toss all the ingredients together until they are well combined!
6. Serve your delicious creation! Dish out portions of the creamy, cheesy rigatoni and steak tips on plates. Finish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and extra flavor.
