Cook the pasta in salted boiling water according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Season the Steak:
In a small bowl, mix together the Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and season both sides generously with the Cajun spice mixture.
Cook the Steak:
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the skillet is hot, add the steaks and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust cooking time for your preferred doneness).
Remove the steaks from the pan, cover with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Prepare the Alfredo Sauce:
In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
Slowly stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and whisk until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
Combine the Pasta and Sauce:
Add the cooked pasta to the Alfredo sauce and toss to coat the noodles evenly.
Serve:
Slice the rested Cajun steak into strips.
Serve the steak over a bed of creamy Alfredo pasta, and garnish with fresh parsley.
Enjoy this bold and flavorful dish!
