→ Steak Ingredients

01 - 2 tablespoons of butter
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - Kinder’s The Blend Seasoning (or salt, garlic powder, and pepper)
04 - Kinder’s Buttery Steak Seasoning (or your go-to steak seasoning)
05 - 2 tablespoons garlic, finely minced
06 - 2 strip steaks

→ Sauce Ingredients

07 - 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated fresh)
08 - ⅓ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
09 - 1 cup chicken broth
10 - 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
11 - ½ teaspoon dried thyme
12 - ½ teaspoon dried oregano
13 - 1 cup heavy cream

→ Pasta Ingredients

14 - 16 oz rigatoni pasta

# Instructions:

01 - Rub the steaks generously on both sides with your favorite steak seasoning, garlic powder, pepper, and salt. Leave them to rest while preparing your pan.
02 - Set a big skillet over medium heat. Melt butter with olive oil, swirling it around to coat. Sear the steaks for about five minutes each side. During the last couple of minutes, spoon the melted butter over the steaks. Once done, cover them with foil to rest for 5-10 minutes.
03 - Fill a big pot with salted water and bring it to a boil. Toss in the rigatoni, cooking as per the package until it’s tender but firm. Save around ½ cup of the pasta water before draining it.
04 - In the same skillet, fry the garlic over medium heat till it smells amazing. Pour in the broth, scraping up all the brown bits stuck to the bottom. Lower the heat, then add cream, Parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes, thyme, oregano, and chili flakes. Cook gently till the sauce thickens a bit.
05 - Toss the drained rigatoni into the pan, stirring it till the sauce fully coats the pasta. If the sauce is too thick, mix in some of the reserved pasta water to adjust.
06 - Slice the rested steaks into thin pieces, cutting against the grain. Lay them over the cheesy rigatoni, and add extra Parmesan on top if you’d like before digging in.

# Notes:

01 - Grate Parmesan fresh for the best flavor and texture.
02 - Go easy on salt at first to fine-tune the taste later.
03 - Pasta water works wonders to fix a sauce that's too thick!
