Ingredients

For the Steak Bites

  • 1.5 pounds sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

For the Cajun Alfredo Pasta

  • 12 ounces twisted pasta (rotini or fusilli recommended)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

For Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Extra grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente, then drain and set aside.
  2. Prepare Steak Bites: Season steak cubes with spices. Sear in a skillet until browned. Set aside.
  3. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, sauté garlic in butter. Add cream, seasonings, and Parmesan. Simmer until thickened.
  4. Combine: Toss pasta in the sauce. Add steak bites and juices. Heat through.
  5. Serve: Transfer to a dish, garnish with parsley and Parmesan. Enjoy!

Notes

  • This dish marries the richness of steak and garlic butter with the bold flavors of Cajun Alfredo sauce.
  • To achieve perfect texture, cook pasta al dente as it will soften further in the sauce.
  • Patting the steak dry before cooking and avoiding overcrowding the pan ensures a beautiful sear.
  • Adjust steak cooking time based on preferred doneness: 2-3 minutes for rare, 3-4 minutes for medium-rare to medium, and 4-5 minutes for well-done.
