Notes

To enhance the flavor of the steak, consider marinating it in olive oil, lemon juice, and extra Cajun seasoning for 30 minutes before cooking. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. When reheating, add a splash of milk to loosen the sauce. For a healthier twist, swap fettuccine with zucchini noodles or use grilled chicken instead of steak. Adjust spice levels according to preference. Enjoy this delightful dish!
