Preparation

1. Cut steak into bite-size cubes if not already. Pat dry and season generously with Cajun seasoning and salt. Let sit for 10 minutes.
2. Salt the water in a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Add rigatoni and cook until just shy of al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.

Cooking

1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and a pat of butter. When shimmering, add the steak in a single layer. Allow to sear without moving for 1-2 minutes, then toss and sear again until browned and just cooked through. Transfer to a plate to rest.
2. Lower heat to medium and add a little more butter if the pan looks dry. Stir in garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in beef broth and scrape up browned bits from the pan, then add the heavy cream and whole milk and simmer gently.
3. Whisk in grated Parmesan until smooth, then add mozzarella gradually, stirring gently until melted. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water.
4. Add the steak and any juices back to the skillet, then add the drained rigatoni. Toss to coat, taste, and adjust seasoning as necessary.

Serving

1. Let the pasta sit off heat for 2 minutes to meld the flavors. Serve hot.
