Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the rigatoni pasta and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. Season the sliced steak with salt and pepper. In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat and add the steak. Cook for 3-4 minutes until browned, then remove from skillet.
  3. Reduce heat to medium, add the remaining butter, and sauté the minced garlic and red pepper flakes for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the beef broth, simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for another 2-3 minutes until thickened.
  6. Return the cooked steak to the skillet along with the rigatoni and grated Parmesan. Toss to coat and heat through for about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

Timing is key to ensure the pasta and steak are cooked to perfection simultaneously. Slice steak against the grain for tenderness and watch the garlic to prevent burning.
