Ingredients
  

Pasta and Steak
  • 12 oz rigatoni pasta dry
  • 1 lb sirloin steak cubed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for searing
  • 0.5 tsp sea salt fine
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper cracked
Blue Cheese Sauce
  • 2 cups heavy cream liquid
  • 4 oz blue cheese crumbled
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp onion powder dried
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Equipment

  • 9x13 Inch Baking Dish
  • Large Pot
  • large skillet
  • Colander
  • Wooden spoon

Method
 

Preparation and Assembly
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. Boil the rigatoni in a large pot of salted water until slightly under al dente, then drain.
  3. Season the steak cubes with salt and pepper, then sear in a hot skillet with olive oil until browned but still tender.
  4. In the same skillet over medium heat, stir in the heavy cream, garlic, and onion powder, simmering for 3 minutes.
  5. Whisk in half of the blue cheese crumbles until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
  6. Combine the cooked pasta, seared steak, and blue cheese sauce in the baking dish, tossing to coat evenly.
  7. Top with the remaining blue cheese crumbles and the shredded mozzarella.
  8. Bake for 15–20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden on top.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving hot.

Notes

For the best texture, ensure you do not overcook the pasta during the boiling stage as it will continue to soften in the oven. If using leftovers like a London Broil or roast, simply fold the sliced meat into the sauce before baking to keep it juicy.
