Description
A rich and indulgent garlic butter steak with creamy Parmesan rigatoni recipe, featuring tender seared steak slices paired with velvety pasta in a buttery garlic Parmesan sauce. Perfect for date nights, family dinners, or when you crave a luxurious yet comforting meal.
Ingredients
1 lb steak (sirloin or ribeye)
12 oz rigatoni pasta
4 tbsp butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
1/2 tsp black pepper (or to taste)
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook rigatoni until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water before draining.
2. Pat steak dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak 3-4 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove and rest.
3. Lower heat to medium, melt butter in the skillet, then add minced garlic. Sauté 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Stir in heavy cream, simmer 2-3 minutes, then add Parmesan. Stir until melted and smooth.
5. Toss cooked rigatoni in the sauce, adding reserved pasta water as needed to loosen.
6. Slice rested steak and serve over pasta. Garnish with parsley and extra Parmesan.
Notes
This dish is best served immediately for the creamiest texture.
Always let the steak rest before slicing to keep juices inside.
If reheating, add a splash of cream or milk to revive the sauce.
