A quick and satisfying meal combining tender Cajun-seasoned steak tips with creamy rigatoni pasta, perfect for busy weeknights.

Scale

Cook the rigatoni according to the package instructions until al dente.
Season the sirloin steak generously with Cajun seasoning.
Heat a pan over medium-high heat, sear the steak for about 3–4 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your liking. Remove from the pan and let it rest.
In the same pan, add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and creamy.
Toss the cooked rigatoni in the creamy sauce, then slice the steak and mix it in.

For perfect steak, allow sirloin to reach room temperature before cooking. Adjust spice level based on preference.
