Instructions
Creating Cajun Steak in Cheesy Rigatoni Parmesan Sauce is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add rigatoni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Season the Steak: Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Rub Cajun seasoning evenly over both sides. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Sear the Steak: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned steak and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time for desired doneness. Remove from skillet and let rest.
4. Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Add Cream and Cheese: Pour in heavy cream, stirring to combine. Gradually add Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese, stirring until melted and creamy.
6. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add cooked rigatoni to the skillet, tossing to coat evenly in the cheesy sauce. Season with additional salt and pepper as needed.
7. Slice and Serve: Slice the rested steak against the grain. Serve the cheesy rigatoni on plates, topped with slices of Cajun steak. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
