1️⃣ Cook the Pasta:

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the rigatoni until al dente, according to the package instructions. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

2️⃣ Prepare the Steak Tips:

1. Season the steak tips with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Sear the steak tips for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3️⃣ Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:

1. In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the remaining butter and olive oil.
2. Sauté the minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens.

4️⃣ Combine the Pasta and Sauce:

1. Add the cooked rigatoni to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, use the reserved pasta water to loosen it up.

5️⃣ Add the Cheese and Steak:

1. Mix in half of the mozzarella cheese.
2. Arrange the steak tips on top of the pasta and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella over the dish.

6️⃣ Broil (Optional):

1. Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil on high for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

7️⃣ Serve:

1. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot. Enjoy your indulgent Garlic Butter Steak Tips with Cheesy Rigatoni!
