A rich and flavorful Steak and Shrimp Alfredo combining tender grilled ribeye cubes and juicy Cajun-seasoned shrimp tossed with creamy Romano-Parmesan buttered penne pasta, garnished with fresh chives for a perfect indulgent dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

Steak

  • 2 whole ribeye steaks, cut into cubes
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • Melted beef tallow as needed

Shrimp

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • Melted beef tallow as needed

Pasta and Alfredo Sauce

  • 16 ounces penne pasta
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Romano cheese
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Garnish

  • Fresh chives, chopped

Instructions

  1. Season the Proteins: In one bowl, toss the cubed ribeye with melted beef tallow and 2 tablespoons of Cajun seasoning until well coated. In a separate bowl, do the same with the shrimp, coating them evenly with melted beef tallow and Cajun seasoning.
  2. Heat the Grill: Preheat your grill to high heat around 400°F, ensuring the grates are clean and ready for cooking.
  3. Cook the Steak: Place the seasoned steak cubes on the hot grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes, turning as needed to get a nice sear on all sides. Cook to your preferred level of doneness, then remove from grill and let rest briefly.
  4. Cook the Shrimp: Heat a cast iron skillet on the grill with a bit of melted beef tallow. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove from heat and keep warm.
  5. Prepare the Pasta: Cook the penne pasta according to package directions until al dente. Before draining, reserve about 2 ounces of the starchy pasta water. Drain the pasta and set aside.
  6. Create the Alfredo Base: Place the room temperature butter in the center of your serving bowl and flatten it out. Add the hot pasta on top and toss it around to melt the butter and coat the noodles evenly.
  7. Finish the Alfredo: Sprinkle the grated Romano and Parmesan cheeses over the pasta, then add the reserved pasta water. Toss everything together until a silky, creamy sauce forms that coats each noodle thoroughly.
  8. Assemble and Serve: Top the creamy pasta with the grilled steak cubes and shrimp. Garnish with freshly chopped chives for color and flavor, then serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • Use fresh Romano and Parmesan cheese for the best flavor in the Alfredo sauce.
  • Reserve pasta water to help thin and emulsify the sauce for a perfect creamy texture.
  • Adjust Cajun seasoning amounts based on your spice preference.
  • Beef tallow adds richness and depth; you can substitute with olive oil if preferred but flavor will differ.
  • Allow steak cubes to rest after grilling to retain juices and improve tenderness.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the creamy sauce and perfectly cooked proteins at their best.
