1. Pat steaks dry with a paper towel and season both sides with Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

2. Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steaks for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness. Remove and let rest.

3. Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook linguine until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.

4. In the same skillet used for the steak, reduce heat to medium. Add butter and let it melt. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

5. Pour in heavy cream and stir. Bring to a gentle simmer. Add parmesan cheese and reserved pasta water. Stir until smooth and thickened.

6. Add cooked linguine to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the sauce. Let it simmer for 1 minute.

7. Slice rested steak into strips. Plate the pasta and top with sliced steak. Spoon over extra garlic butter sauce.

8. Garnish with parsley and red pepper flakes. Serve immediately.
