Instructions

1. Cook pasta in salted water until al dente. Save 1 cup pasta water and drain.

2. Pat steaks dry. Season both sides with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.

3. Sear steaks in a hot skillet with olive oil 3–4 minutes each side or until your perfect doneness. Add butter at the end and let it melt over the steaks. Rest them for a few minutes, then slice into strips.

4. Same skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter. Stir in garlic and Cajun seasoning for 30 seconds.

5. Add heavy cream and let it simmer until slightly thickened. Stir in Parmesan to make it lush and creamy. Adjust thickness with pasta water as needed.

6. Toss pasta in the sauce until it’s fully coated. Add sliced steak right on top.

7. Sprinkle parsley if you want that restaurant look.
