Cajun Steak Alfredo
Ingredients:
– Fettuccine pasta
– Heavy cream
– Parmesan cheese
– Cajun seasoning
– Olive oil
– Black pepper
– Garlic cloves
– Ribeye steak
– Salt
– Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Start by cooking the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season both sides of the ribeye steak with salt, black pepper, and Cajun seasoning.
3. Sear the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the cooking time to your preferred doneness. Once cooked, remove from the skillet and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.
4. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring well as it heats. Add grated Parmesan cheese and mix until it melts into a rich sauce.
6. Stir in more Cajun seasoning to taste and add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet. Toss gently to coat the pasta in the creamy sauce.
7. Slice the steak against the grain and arrange it on top of the creamy Cajun fettuccine. Garnish with fresh parsley for a beautiful presentation.
8. Serve hot, and enjoy this spicy delight!
