Ingredients
- 2 steaks (sirloin or ribeye)
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning (more if desired)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
- Cook the Pasta: Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Season the Steak: Rub Cajun seasoning evenly on both sides of the steaks. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook the Steak: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steaks for 3-5 minutes per side (or to desired doneness). Remove from the skillet and let rest before slicing thinly.
- Make the Alfredo Sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine.
- Thicken the Sauce: Let the sauce simmer for 5-7 minutes until it thickens. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce and toss to coat. Arrange the sliced Cajun steak on top.
- Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add more Cajun seasoning or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- You can substitute the steak with grilled chicken or shrimp for variation.
- To make the dish lighter, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
