Method
 

Preparation
  1. Mix olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, Cajun seasoning, hot sauce, brown sugar, and black pepper. Marinate the steak overnight.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and add olive oil. Cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
  3. Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning. Cook in a skillet over medium heat until no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  4. Toss shrimp with olive oil, Cajun seasoning, and a pinch of salt. Sauté in the same skillet for 3-4 minutes until pink. Remove and set aside.
  5. Cook the marinated steak in the skillet over high heat for 2-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Set aside.
  6. Melt butter in the same skillet over medium-low heat. Add cream cheese and stir until softened. Pour in heavy cream, season, and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in Parmesan cheese.
  7. Add cooked pasta, chicken, shrimp, and steak to the Alfredo sauce. Toss until well coated and serve hot.
