Steak Tips with Cheesy Rigatoni

Healthy Fact of the Day

For a lighter version, swap heavy cream for Greek yogurt or half-and-half to reduce fat while keeping a creamy texture. Using whole wheat rigatoni adds fiber, and opting for lean steak cuts like sirloin helps lower saturated fat while maintaining rich flavor and protein content.

    Ingredients

    • 1 pound steak tips

    • 1 pound rigatoni pasta

    • 2 cups cheddar cheese

    • 1 cup cream

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil

    • 1 onion, diced

    • 3 cloves garlic, minced

    • 1 teaspoon black pepper

    • 1 teaspoon salt

    Directions

    • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the rigatoni pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
    • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant and translucent.
    • Add the steak tips to the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and cook until they are brown on all sides, around 8 minutes.
    • Reduce the heat to medium and pour cream into the skillet, stirring to incorporate and scrape any flavorful bits from the bottom.
    • Add the cooked rigatoni and cheddar cheese to the steak mixture, stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce evenly coats the pasta.
    • Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed, and let it simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
    • Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
