Cajun Steak Fettuccine Pasta

INGREDIENTS

• 2 lb of Certified Angus Beef boneless sirloin or top blade steaks
• 1 1/2 tsp crushed fennel seed
• 2 tsp oregano
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp ground red pepper
• 1 lb fettuccine
• 2 tbsp butter
• 3 – 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shaved

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the barbecue on HIGH, and brush grids with oil to prevent sticking.
2. Combine fennel seed, oregano, paprika, black pepper, salt and red pepper in a small dish to create a herb rub. Rub lightly over surface of both sides of steak.
3. Place the steak on hot grids and reduce heat to MEDIUM. Grill approximately 5 minutes per side for medium. Allow steak to rest for 5 minutes before carving.
4. Cut across grain into thin slices. Meanwhile, prepare fettuccine by cooking in large pot of boiling water for approximately 9 minutes, until desired doneness.
5. Melt butter in a large skillet, add garlic and red onion and cook 3 – 5 minutes, until tender. Remove from heat.
6. Add drained pasta and Parmesan cheese and toss. Top with strips and serve.
