Sauce
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Cook Pasta: Cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
- Cook Steak: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add the cubed steak, and cook until browned on all sides and cooked to desired doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
