Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ribeye or sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized strips
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tsp olive oil (for shrimp)
- 1 tsp chili powder
- Salt, pepper, and garlic powder (to taste)
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1½ cups heavy cream
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ tsp Cajun seasoning
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 large baked potato per serving (optional base)
Instructions
- Season steak with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chili powder. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high with a drizzle of oil. Sear steak pieces for 1 minute per side, until browned but juicy. Remove and set aside.
- Toss shrimp in olive oil and a little chili powder or Cajun seasoning. In the same skillet, cook shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side until they curl into a C shape and turn golden. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add olive oil and sauté bell peppers and onions for about 6–7 minutes until slightly tender and charred. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- In a saucepan, heat heavy cream over medium heat. Once bubbling slightly, add Parmesan cheese and seasonings (garlic powder, Cajun, salt, pepper, Italian herbs). Stir until smooth and creamy.
- In a serving tray or bowl, layer the sautéed veggies first, then top with steak and shrimp. Generously drizzle the cheese sauce over everything.
- Bake large russet potatoes at 450°F (230°C) for 1 hour and 15 minutes, seasoned with oil, salt, and pepper. Cut open and gently mash the insides with a fork. Layer the steak, shrimp, veggies, and cheese sauce directly on top (optional).
Notes
- For extra spice, add more chili powder or hot sauce to the cheese sauce.
- This dish can also be served over rice or quinoa for a different base.
- Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preference.
