Method
- Boil a large pot of salted water. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak strips, season with Cajun seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Sear for 4–5 minutes, then remove from skillet.
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1–2 minutes more until fragrant.
- Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Pour in heavy cream, stirring constantly. Simmer 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Lower heat and stir in Parmesan and cheddar cheeses. Stir until melted and smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper.
- Return steak to skillet and add fettuccine pasta. Toss until evenly coated in sauce.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream. Adjust Cajun seasoning based on spice preference. You can also swap ribeye with chicken breast or shrimp for variations.
