Method
Preparation
- Bring a large pot of well salted water to a boil and cook rigatoni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat, add the Cajun-seasoned steak tips and sear until browned and cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove steak to a plate and tent with foil.
Making the Sauce
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium, add butter, and melt. Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
- Remove from heat and gradually stir in grated Parmesan until the sauce is smooth. If grainy, return to low heat and stir gently.
Finishing the Dish
- Add cooked rigatoni to the skillet, toss to coat in the sauce, and return steak tips to pan, tossing briefly until heated through.
- Plate immediately and garnish with chopped parsley.

Notes
For best results, use hot oil to get a good sear on the steak. Do not overcook the pasta; al dente holds up better in the sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat gently.
