Creamy Cajun Steak Cream Penne with Bell Peppers 🥩🌶️🍝✨
This bold and creamy dish brings the heat in the best way—juicy Cajun-spiced steak bites, tender penne coated in a rich, velvety cream sauce, and sweet bell peppers adding color and crunch. It’s smoky, spicy, and irresistibly creamy with every bite. 🔥💛

📝 Ingredients:
12 oz penne pasta
1 lb steak (sirloin or ribeye), cut into bite-sized pieces
Salt, black pepper
1–2 tbsp Cajun seasoning (adjust to taste)
2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp butter
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1½ cups heavy cream
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
½ cup beef broth (optional, for extra depth)
Optional: parsley, red pepper flakes, extra parmesan

🔥 Instructions:
Cook the pasta: Boil penne in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Season & sear the steak: Toss steak pieces with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear steak for 3–5 minutes until nicely browned. Remove and set aside.

Sauté the peppers: In the same skillet, add butter. Toss in sliced bell peppers and cook for 4–5 minutes until slightly softened but still vibrant. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Build the sauce: Pour in heavy cream (and beef broth if using). Stir well and let it simmer for 3–4 minutes to slightly thicken.

Add the cheese: Stir in parmesan cheese until melted into a smooth, creamy sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning—add more Cajun spice if you want extra kick.

Bring it all together: Return steak and penne to the skillet. Toss everything until evenly coated in the creamy Cajun sauce.

Garnish and serve: Finish with fresh parsley, extra parmesan, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for that fiery finish.

💬 Why It Works:
The Cajun seasoning brings smoky heat that pairs perfectly with the richness of the cream sauce. Sweet bell peppers balance the spice, while the tender steak adds a hearty, savory punch. It’s a flavor-packed, restaurant-style pasta that hits every craving at once. 😌🔥🧀
