Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs beef sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
- 1 pound rigatoni pasta

Instructions
- Cook rigatoni pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large bowl, toss steak cubes with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add steak cubes and sear on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove steak from skillet and set aside.

- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese.
Notes
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the Cajun seasoning. You can substitute another type of pasta, such as penne or ziti, if desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
