  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Ribeye Steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 lb Rigatoni Pasta
  • 1 tbsp Cajun Seasoning
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1/2 cup Yellow Onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream

  1. Step 1: Season the cubed steak with Cajun seasoning. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove steak from skillet and set aside.

  4. Step 4: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
  5. Step 5: Add the cooked pasta and steak to the cheese sauce. Toss to combine, ensuring the pasta is coated evenly.
  6. Step 6: Serve immediately and garnish with extra Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently in a skillet over medium-low heat, adding a splash of milk if needed to loosen the sauce.
  • Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice for a bright finish.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet when searing the steak to ensure a proper brown crust forms for maximum flavor.
