Garlic Butter Steak Tips: Instructions

1. Place a large saucepan of salty water to boil. Simmer cook rigatoni until soft but firm. Drain, reserve about ½ cup of pasta water.

2. Pat steak slices dry with paper towels. Season with salt, black pepper, and Cajun seasoning if using.

3. Put olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pan. Heat it on medium-high flame.

4. Place steak in a single layer and sear 2–3 minutes per side until brown and tender. Remove steak and loosely wrap to keep warm.

5. Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining butter and garlic; cook 1 minute.

6. Add cream and milk, stirring, and simmer a few minutes until slightly thickened.

7. Add mozzarella and Parmesan, one after another, stirring until smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Add pasta water if sauce is too thick.

8. Add the cooked rigatoni to the cream cheese sauce and stir well so the pasta is covered.

9. Put the steak pieces on top of the pasta and pour the garlic butter from the pan over it.

10. If you like, sprinkle chopped parsley and a few red pepper flakes on top.
