Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 12 oz rotini or penne pasta
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • ½ cup mozzarella for extra melt
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Cajun seasoning

Equipment

  • Large pot for boiling pasta
  • Skillet or frying pan
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Colander for draining pasta
  • Measuring cup and spoons

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rotini and cook until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt a tablespoon of butter, add the cubed steak, season with Cajun seasoning, and sear until browned. Remove and keep warm.
  3. In the same pan, melt another tablespoon of butter, add minced garlic, and stir. Slowly pour in the heavy cream and let it simmer until thickened. Stir in the shredded cheddar until smooth.
  4. Add the drained pasta back to the skillet, along with the garlic cheddar sauce, and fold in the steak. Sprinkle mozzarella on top and cover briefly to melt.
  5. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

For extra depth, brown the butter before sautéing the garlic for a nutty flavor.
If using leftovers, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat gently with a splash of milk or cream.
Feel free to adjust the spice levels according to your preference; for a milder taste, reduce or omit the Cajun seasoning.
