Notes

Always let the steak rest before slicing to retain juices. Use fresh, high-quality Parmesan for better melting and flavor. You can adjust the spice level by altering the Cajun seasoning amount. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to maintain the sauce's texture. Garnish with fresh parsley for added color and flavor.
