Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb steak (ribeye or sirloin), sliced into strips
- 12 oz fettuccine pasta
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak strips with salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning. Cook the steak for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the garlic and onion, cooking for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream, bring to a simmer, and cook for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and cook until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Add the cooked pasta and steak strips to the sauce, tossing to coat everything evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to heat through.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- For extra spice, increase the Cajun seasoning.
- You can use any steak cut you prefer, but ribeye or sirloin works best for a tender result.
- Serve with garlic bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
