Ingredients
  

For the Steak
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter adds richness and flavor
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
For the Cajun Pasta
  • 8 oz fettuccine or pasta of choice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for sautéing the vegetables
  • 1 bell pepper diced adds sweetness and crunch
  • 1 onion diced brings depth to the flavor
  • 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning a blend of spices that gives warmth and zest
  • 1 cup heavy cream creates a luscious sauce
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese for that cheesy goodness

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Large Pot
  • Tongs or Spatula

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the fettuccine according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Season the ribeye steaks with salt and pepper on both sides. In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the steaks and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness. In the last minute of cooking, add the minced garlic and remaining butter to the skillet. Baste the steaks with the garlic butter. Remove from heat and let rest.
  3. Step 3: In the same skillet used for the steak, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced bell pepper and onion, and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and Cajun seasoning, cooking for an additional minute. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Add the Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, tossing to combine.
  4. Step 4: Slice the steak and serve on a plate alongside the Cajun pasta. Drizzle with the garlic butter from the skillet and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat to keep the pasta creamy and the steak tender.
