Creamy Garlic Butter Steak Pasta combines tender steak with creamy pasta in a savory garlic butter sauce, perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions.

Ingredients

  • 12 oz rigatoni
  • 1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cubed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ¾ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • Optional: Sautéed mushrooms or spinach

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni until just al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
  2. Sear the steak: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season cubed steak with salt and pepper. Sear the steak in two batches, until browned and just cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove the steak to a plate.
  3. Make the garlic butter sauce: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and melt butter. Add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the cream: Pour in heavy cream, scraping the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Incorporate the cheese: Lower the heat and stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Adjust seasoning.
  6. Combine with pasta: Add the cooked rigatoni to the sauce, stirring gently to coat the pasta, adding reserved pasta water if needed.
  7. Finish with steak: Let the steak rest for a few minutes, then return it to the skillet. Stir to combine and finish with fresh parsley.
  8. Serve hot, ideally with crusty bread or garlic butter green beans.

Notes

Choose ribeye for more flavor and tenderness, and ensure you don’t overcook the pasta. Use fresh garlic for the best taste.
