Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs sirloin steak about 1 inch thick
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp butter divided
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lb egg noodles
  • 6 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • a pinch nutmeg

Equipment

  • Large cast-iron skillet
  • Pot for boiling noodles
  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Tongs for flipping the steak
  • Knife and cutting board for slicing the steak

Method
 

  1. Pat the sirloin steak dry with paper towels and rub with the seasoning mixture.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat; sear the steak for 3-4 minutes per side.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and minced garlic to the skillet in the last minute; baste the steak and remove it from the skillet to rest for at least 10 minutes.
  4. Cook the egg noodles according to package directions until al dente, then drain.
  5. In the same pot, melt 6 tablespoons of butter, add garlic, and cook for 1 minute. Pour in heavy cream and milk; simmer.
  6. Stir in Parmesan, salt, pepper, onion powder, and nutmeg until the sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Toss the cooked noodles in the creamy Parmesan sauce.
  8. Slice the rested steak against the grain and serve over the creamy noodles, drizzling with remaining melted butter and sprinkling more Parmesan.

Notes

For an extra flavor boost, consider marinating the steak before seasoning. Substitute the steak with ribeye or filet mignon for a different taste. Store leftovers separately for the best texture, keeping the steak for up to 3 days and the noodles for up to 5. To reheat, use the oven for the steak to retain moisture and the stovetop for the noodles. Garnish with fresh herbs for a vibrant touch!
