Ingredients

Steak:

2 Whole Ribeyes cubed
2 tbsp Cajun Seasoning
Melted Beef Tallow as needed

Shrimp:

1 lbs Shrimp peeled, de-veined and no tail
2 tbsp Cajun Seasoning
Melted Beef Tallow as needed

Alfredo Pasta:

16 oz Penne Pasta cooked
½ cup Unsalted Butter room temp
½ cup Romano Cheese grated
½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
Chopped Chives for garnish

Instructions

In a bowl, add your cubed steak with beef tallow and Cajun seasoning. Mix thoroughly.
Add the shrimp to another bowl with beef tallow and Cajun seasoning and mix thoroughly as well.
Preheat your grill to high heat (about 400F).
Add your cubed steak to cook for 3-4 minutes, flipping as needed. Once the steaks are done to your liking, pull off and let cool.
Add a cast iron skillet with beef tallow to preheat over the fire. Add the shrimp to cook for 1-2 minutes until fully cooked, then pull off and keep warm.
Follow the instructions on your pasta to cook until al dente. Make sure to save 2 oz of pasta water for the sauce. Once the pasta is done, strain and set to the side.
Add your room temperature butter into the middle of your pasta serving plate/bowl and flatten it. Top with the warm cooked pasta and mix around in the butter.
Add your grated Romano & Parmesan cheese along with 2 oz of your pasta water. Mix together until silky and creamy.
Top the pasta with the steak and shrimp. Garnish with chopped chives if you desire, serve and enjoy!

Notes

Make-Your-Own Cajun Seasoning

No Cajun seasoning in the spice cabinet? No worries! Just combine 1 tablespoon paprika, 2 teaspoons salt, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper in a small bowl and then store it in an airtight container for up to a year. Yes, a year! It'll be ready whenever your next steak and shrimp alfredo craving hits.

If you want the seasoning mix to be milder, dial back the cayenne. If you want to bring the heat, you can bump up the cayenne pepper to 1 teaspoon and even add 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Check out my Spiceology line for even more ideas!
