Method

1

Allow the steak to come up to room temperature and coat the diced steak with oil. Season generously with salt and black pepper.

2

Gently heat a heavy-based pan and sear the diced steak for a few minutes until it’s cooked to your liking. Once cooked, set aside and leave to rest.

3

In the meantime, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the rigatoni until al dente, approximately 8 minutes.

4

While the pasta is cooking, heat the butter in a pan and gently fry the shallots and garlic along with the black pepper until nicely cooked.

5

Add a splash of pasta water, then add the drained rigatoni and Parmesan. Let this melt before stirring.

6

Once melted, stir the pasta through the sauce and add the cream.

7

Serve with the diced steak on top and some fresh chives.
