Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound of sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into thin strips
- 1 pound of penne or rotini pasta
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1 cup of chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons of honey
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons of Cajun seasoning
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, chopped (any color)
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the steak strips and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside. Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary to ensure proper browning.
- Add butter to the same skillet. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper and cook for 5-7 minutes, until softened.
- Add the minced garlic and Cajun seasoning to the skillet and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Add the uncooked pasta to the skillet. Stir to ensure the pasta is submerged in the liquid.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked through and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking.
- Stir in the honey and cooked steak. Heat through for 1-2 minutes.
- Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately.
