Ingredients

Scale

For the Cajun Steak:

  • 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (6 oz each)

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

For the Alfredo Pasta:

  • 8 oz fettuccine

  • 1 tbsp butter

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Parsley flakes and red pepper flakes, for garnish

Instructions

  • Season the Steak:
    Rub steaks with olive oil, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let sit for 10 minutes.

  • Sear the Steak:
    Heat a skillet over high heat. Sear the steaks for 3–4 minutes per side for medium doneness.
    Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  • Cook the Pasta:
    Boil fettuccine in salted water until al dente. Reserve ¼ cup pasta water and drain.

  • Make the Alfredo Sauce:
    In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic for 1 minute.
    Stir in cream and bring to a simmer. Add Parmesan and whisk until smooth.
    Toss in pasta and reserved water. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  • Assemble the Plate:
    Plate the creamy pasta and top with sliced steak.
    Garnish with parsley and chili flakes for heat and color.

Notes

  • A squeeze of lemon or drizzle of truffle oil over the pasta boosts flavor.

  • Steak doneness can be adjusted to preference.

  • Great with a side of sautéed greens or a crisp salad.
