🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb steak (ribeye or sirloin), sliced into strips
- 12 oz fettuccine pasta
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Begin by cooking the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
2. While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak strips with salt, pepper, and half of the Cajun seasoning. Sear the steak until browned on all sides, approximately 4-5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the minced garlic and diced onion. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and the remaining Cajun seasoning, cooking until the sauce thickens into a creamy consistency.
5. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, ensuring it's fully coated. Return the seared steak strips to the skillet, combining everything thoroughly.
6. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately while hot.
