Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 12 oz rigatoni pasta
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Season steak cubes with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add steak bites in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in heavy cream, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle simmer, then whisk in Parmesan cheese until smooth and thickened.
- Add the cooked rigatoni and steak bites back to the skillet. Toss everything together until well coated in the creamy alfredo sauce.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
You can customize the seasonings to taste. For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic.
