Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Boil salted water in a large pot, add rigatoni, and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 10-12 minutes.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, season the steak with salt and pepper, add olive oil, and sear the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden.
  3. Remove the steak, let it rest, then melt butter in the same skillet. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Drain the rigatoni, reserving a cup of pasta water. Toss hot rigatoni in the skillet with the garlic butter sauce, adjusting with reserved water if needed.
  5. Slice the rested steak and add it back to the skillet, gently fold everything together, and garnish with parsley and Parmesan, if desired.
  6. Serve the garlic butter steak rigatoni on plates, ensuring to include plenty of sauce and steak pieces. Enjoy!
