This Spicy Cajun Steak with Creamy Alfredo Pasta is the ultimate indulgence for steak lovers and pasta enthusiasts alike. The perfectly seasoned Cajun steak, with its smoky, spicy kick, is a bold contrast to the creamy, velvety Alfredo sauce that coats the fettuccine pasta. It’s the kind of dish that delivers both heat and comfort, creating a rich, satisfying experience with every bite.
- Ingredients:
- 2 ribeye steaks (about 8 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 lb fettuccine pasta
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions:
- For the Steak: Rub both sides of the steaks with Cajun seasoning, ensuring they are evenly coated. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, add the steaks and sear for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the desired doneness is reached (medium-rare to medium is recommended).
- Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing them thinly against the grain.
- For the Alfredo Pasta: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In the same skillet used for the steak, add butter and garlic, cooking over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine, and bring it to a simmer. Once simmering, reduce heat and stir in Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses until smooth and creamy.
- Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat in the Alfredo sauce. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Serve the creamy pasta topped with sliced Cajun steak and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
