Method
 

Instructions
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season steak with salt and pepper, then sear until browned on both sides. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add onion and bell peppers. Cook for 4–5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  3. Pour in beef broth and bring to a boil. Add pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender and most liquid is absorbed.
  4. Lower heat and stir in heavy cream and Cajun seasoning. Simmer gently for 2–3 minutes until sauce thickens.
  5. Return steak to the skillet. Add Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and well combined.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For a milder version, reduce Cajun seasoning. You can substitute chicken or mushrooms for the steak if desired.
