Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb steak, sliced
  • 12 oz fettuccine
  • 2 cup heavy cream
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • to garnish fresh parsley, chopped

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Large pot for boiling pasta
  • Tongs for tossing the pasta
  • Cutting board and knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Slice the steak into thin strips and sprinkle with Cajun seasoning, tossing to coat evenly. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the fettuccine, and cook until al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat and sauté the seasoned steak for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness.
  4. In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, then sauté minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce thickens.
  5. Add the cooked fettuccine to the Alfredo sauce, tossing to coat. Return the steak to the skillet and mix everything together. Season with salt and pepper to taste, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

For an extra flavor burst, add a splash of white wine to the Alfredo sauce while simmering for a sophisticated twist. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; flavors meld beautifully overnight. For longer storage, freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months, thawing overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. High-quality ingredients enhance the flavor, and consider grating your own Parmesan for the best results. Adjust the Cajun seasoning amount to fit your taste preferences—feel free to start small and add more as desired!
