Stir in pumpkin and cook until simmering, about 2 minutes. Add rice and remaining 1 cup broth. Bring to simmer and cook, stirring constantly, until rice is al dente, 4 to 6 minutes. Off heat, stir in Parmesan and remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Season with salt to taste. Sprinkle extra Parmesan over risotto, top with steak tips, and serve.

Why This Recipe Works
Parcooking the rice in the microwave allowed us to make a speedy weeknight risotto in the same skillet we used to sear the steak tips.
