  • 1.5 lbs beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 tbsp butter, divided
  • 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream
  • 0.5 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • to taste salt and black pepper
  • to garnish fresh parsley, chopped

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Large pot for boiling pasta
  • Tongs or a slotted spoon
  • Cheese grater
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil, add linguine, and cook until al dente; drain and reserve some pasta water.
  2. Pat beef cubes dry, season with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper, then sear in a skillet with 2 tablespoons of butter until browned; remove and set aside.
  3. Lower heat, add remaining butter and minced garlic to the skillet, stirring for about a minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, bring to a gentle simmer, and thicken slightly.
  5. Stir in mozzarella and Parmesan until melted, then combine with seared beef and cooked linguine; heat through, adjusting the sauce with reserved pasta water if necessary.
  6. Taste for seasoning, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half or milk. Freshly grated cheese melts better than pre-shredded; try to use it for a smoother sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of milk or broth. Consider adding sautéed vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for extra nutrition and flavor.
