Method
 

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
  1. Collect 1 pound of steak, 8 ounces of fettuccine, 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons of Cajun seasoning, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 cloves of garlic (minced), salt, and pepper.
Step 2: Cook the Fettuccine
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 3: Season the Steak
  1. Rub the steak with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Make sure it's well-coated for that flavorful kick!
Step 4: Sear the Steak
  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steak and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Adjust time for your preferred doneness. Remove and let it rest.
Step 5: Make the Alfredo Sauce
  1. In the same skillet, lower the heat and add minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and stir well.
Step 6: Add Cheese and Combine
  1. Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese to the cream, stirring until melted and smooth. Season with additional Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste.
Step 7: Toss the Fettuccine
  1. Add the cooked fettuccine to the sauce, tossing to coat every strand in that creamy goodness.
Step 8: Slice the Steak
  1. Slice the rested steak against the grain into thin strips. This will make it tender and easy to eat!
Step 9: Serve and Enjoy!
  1. Plate the creamy fettuccine and top with the sliced steak. Garnish with extra Parmesan and a sprinkle of Cajun seasoning. Dig in and enjoy your epic comfort food delight!
