👉Instructions:
✅️1. Cook the Pasta
Boil a large pot of salted water. Cook the rigatoni until just tender (al dente). Drain and save ½ cup of pasta water. Set pasta aside.
✅️2. Sear the Steak Tips
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Season steak with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Sear the steak for 3–4 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your liking.
Add 1 tbsp butter near the end and spoon it over the meat. Remove steak from pan and set aside.
✅️3. Make the Sauce
In the same skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter.
Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Pour in the cream and milk. Add cream cheese and stir until smooth.
Mix in Parmesan, mozzarella, and Cajun seasoning. Stir until thick and cheesy.
Add salt and pepper. Use a splash of reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
✅️4. Put It All Together
Stir cooked pasta into the sauce. Gently fold in the steak tips.
Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes so the flavors blend together.
✅️5. Serve
Top with fresh parsley and serve hot and cheesy!
