Ingredients:
For the Cajun Steak:
- 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 8 oz each)
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
For the Alfredo Pasta:
- 8 oz fettuccine or any pasta of your choice
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Directions:
Prepare the Pasta:
- Pasta should be cooked in salted boiling water as directed on the box. Reserve the drained liquid.
Garnish the Steak:
- Combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper in a small bowl with the Cajun spice.
- After patting the steaks dry with a paper towel, liberally season them with the Cajun spice mixture on both sides.
Cook the Steak:
- In a large pan, melt the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat.
- To achieve medium-rare doneness, sauté the steaks for three to four minutes on each side once the pan is hot.
- Before slicing, take the steaks out of the pan, tent them with foil, and let them 5 minutes to rest.
Prepare the Alfredo Sauce:
- Melt a tablespoon of butter in the same skillet over medium heat.
- Sauté the minced garlic for 30 seconds, or until it begins to release its aroma.
- Add the heavy cream and reduce heat to a low simmer.
- Whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese slowly until the sauce reaches a velvety consistency.
- Add pepper and salt to taste to the sauce.
Combine the Pasta and Sauce:
- Cut the Cajun steak that has rested into thin pieces.
Serve:
- Arrange the steak on top of a sauce made of rich Alfredo sauce and top with chopped fresh parsley.
