Notes

For added depth of flavor, marinate the steaks in olive oil, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce for 30 minutes before cooking. Adjust the Cajun seasoning based on your heat preference. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently to preserve texture. For a healthier version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream and add more vegetables to the sauce.
