Ingredients
1 lb steak tips
2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
1 small onion, diced
1 bell pepper, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
12 oz pasta of choice
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tbsp chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Season the steak tips with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak tips until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add butter, onion, and bell pepper. Cook until softened.
4. Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
5. Lower heat and add heavy cream. Let simmer until slightly thickened.
6. Stir in Parmesan cheese and adjust seasoning with more Cajun spice if needed.
7. Meanwhile, cook pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain, reserving some pasta water.
8. Add the cooked steak and pasta into the skillet. Toss to combine, adding pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce.
9. Serve hot with extra Parmesan or parsley on top.
Notes
Use sirloin steak tips for best texture and flavor.
Let the steak rest before slicing to retain juices.
Add a splash of pasta water if the sauce thickens too much on reheating.
