Ingredients
- 2 strip steaks
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp steak seasoning
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- ½ tsp oregano
- ½ tsp thyme
- ⅓ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 16 oz rigatoni pasta
Instructions
- Cook the steak: Season the steaks with steak seasoning. Sear them in a hot skillet with olive oil and butter until the desired doneness. Rest and slice.
- Cook the pasta: Boil rigatoni until al dente, saving some pasta water for later.
- Make the sauce: Sauté minced garlic in the same skillet, then deglaze with chicken broth. Add heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, whisking until smooth. Stir in red pepper flakes, oregano, thyme, and sun-dried tomatoes. Simmer until the sauce thickens.
- Combine: Toss the cooked rigatoni into the sauce, adding pasta water if needed. Top with sliced steak and serve.
Notes
- Add spinach or mushrooms to the sauce for extra flavor and nutrition.
- If you prefer a different pasta, substitute with fettuccine or penne.
- For a spicier version, add more red pepper flakes or hot sauce.
- This recipe can be made dairy-free by using plant-based cream and dairy-free Parmesan
