Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz fettuccine or pasta of choice
  • 1 lb steak (sirloin or ribeye), cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions. Once it’s al dente, drain and set aside.
  2. Sear the Steak: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned steak pieces, and sear them until browned and cooked to your liking. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté the Aromatics: In the same skillet, toss in the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion turns translucent, filling the space with a delicious aroma.
  4. Create the Creamy Sauce: Reduce the heat to medium and pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Let it simmer gently, allowing flavors to meld.
  5. Add Cheese and Combine: Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until it melts and combines with the cream, creating a rich, creamy sauce.
  6. Toss Everything Together: Return the cooked pasta and steak to the skillet. Toss everything together to ensure each bite is well-coated in the creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve and Garnish: Serve this delicious dish warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired, and prepare for the compliments that are sure to follow!

Notes

For extra flavor, consider marinating the steak in some Cajun seasoning for a few hours before cooking. Add crushed red pepper flakes or hot sauce for added spice.
