Instructions

1. Pat steak dry and coat both sides with Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

2. Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over high heat. Sear the steak for 3-5 minutes per side. In the last minute, add butter and minced garlic. Baste the steak, then remove and rest.

3. Boil fettuccine in salted water until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water and drain.

4. In a skillet, melt butter, sauté garlic, then add cream. Simmer for 3-4 minutes. Stir in Parmesan until melted. Add pasta water if needed.

5. Toss cooked fettuccine in sauce. Slice the steak and serve over or next to pasta. Garnish with parsley and extra cheese.

Notes

Let the steak rest before slicing to retain juices.

Freshly grated Parmesan melts more smoothly than pre-shredded.

Adjust Cajun spice level to suit your preference.
