  • 12 oz linguine pasta
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • to taste salt and black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Season the steak tips with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat, searing the steak tips for 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

Notes

For a healthier alternative, consider using grilled chicken instead of steak or zucchini noodles instead of pasta. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, gently warm in a skillet and add a splash of water or milk if the sauce thickens.
