How to Make Creamy Cajun Steak Alfredo

Step 1: Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving ½ cup of pasta water.

Step 2: Sear the Steak

Pat the steak dry with paper towels and season with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak strips and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your liking. Remove and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Alfredo Sauce

In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese and Cajun seasoning until smooth and creamy. If it’s too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water.

Step 4: Combine Everything

Add the cooked fettuccine to the sauce, tossing until evenly coated. Return the steak to the skillet and stir gently to combine.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle with extra Cajun seasoning, chopped parsley, and a touch of grated Parmesan. Serve hot and enjoy the creamy, spicy goodness!
