Spicy Cajun Steak with Creamy Alfredo Pasta

by

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.

  1. 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:

  1. For the Steak: Rub both sides of the steaks with Cajun seasoning, ensuring they are evenly coated. Season with salt and black pepper.
  2. 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).
  3. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing them thinly against the grain.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat in the Alfredo sauce. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste.
  8. Serve the creamy pasta topped with sliced Cajun steak and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
