Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Bowl

Ingredients
  

Steak:

  • 2 Whole Ribeye Steaks cut into cubes
  • Rendered Beef Tallow as needed
  • 2 tbsp Cajun Spice Blend

Shrimp:

  • 1 lb Large Shrimp peeled, de-veined, and tails removed
  • Rendered Beef Tallow as needed
  • 2 tbsp Cajun Spice Blend

Alfredo Pasta:

  • 16 oz Penne Rigate cooked
  • ¼ cup Heavy Cream
  • ½ cup Unsalted Butter softened
  • ½ cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • ½ cup Grated Romano Cheese
  • Chopped Fresh Chives for garnish

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

  • Start by cutting your ribeye steaks into bite-sized cubes. Ensure the steak is at room temperature. This makes for more even cooking. Rinse and dry the shrimp as well.

Step 2: Season the Steak

  • In a bowl, combine the cubed ribeye with Cajun spice blend. Toss well to cover the beef. Seasoning beforehand allows the flavors to penetrate while you prepare the other elements.

Step 3: Cook the Steak

  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the rendered beef tallow. Once hot, cook the ribeye cubes for about 4-5 minutes, flipping once. Aim for a nice sear without overcooking. Remove from the pan and let rest.

Step 4: Cook the Shrimp

  • In the same skillet, add a tad more tallow if necessary, and toss in the shrimp. Season with the remaining Cajun spice. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque. Overcooking can make the shrimp rubbery, so keep an eye on them!

Step 5: Make the Alfredo Sauce

  • With both proteins off the heat, lower the temperature of the skillet. Add the butter, allowing it to melt. Next, pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Gradually add the Parmesan and Romano cheeses, mixing until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Step 6: Combine Everything

  • Add the cooked penne rigate into the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Toss well to coat all the pasta. Gently fold in the steak and shrimp until they’re evenly distributed throughout the dish.

Step 7: Garnish and Serve

  • Transfer the pasta to serving plates or bowls. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh chives for color and a touch of flavor. Enjoy your delicious homemade ribeye steak and shrimp Alfredo pasta!

Notes

To enhance the experience even further, consider the following tips:
Choose Quality Ingredients: Opt for fresh shrimp and high-quality ribeye. The better the ingredients, the better the final result.
Don’t Overcook Proteins: Timing is crucial. Keep an eye on the steak and shrimp to ensure they retain their juicy texture.
Use Fresh Herbs: Chives are great, but you can elevate the dish with fresh parsley or basil for an aromatic hint.
Experiment with Cheese: If you’d like, incorporate different cheeses like Gouda or Fontina for a unique twist on the Alfredo flavor.
Adjust Spiciness: If you like heat, feel free to add more Cajun spice or even throw in a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sauce.
