Elevate your dinner game with this Creamy Cajun Steak Alfredo! It's full of sumptuous flavors and that perfect kick that'll keep everyone coming back for more.
Ingredients:
- 12 oz fettuccine pasta
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 lb ribeye or sirloin steak, sliced into strips
- 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Begin by cooking the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions until it's al dente. Once cooked, drain it well and set it aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the steak strips with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add the steak to the skillet and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes until it is nicely browned and cooked to your preference. Once done, remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.
3. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, toss in the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they become soft and fragrant.
4. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine, and bring it to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly thickens.
5. Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, continuing to mix until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
6. Add the cooked fettuccine and the previously cooked steak back into the skillet. Toss everything together thoroughly to ensure the pasta and steak are well-coated with the creamy sauce. Let it cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to make sure it's heated through.
7. Finish by garnishing with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm.
