- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tsp Cajun seasoning
- ¼ cup heavy cream

Instructions
- Sear the steak: In a large pot over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Season the steak with salt and pepper and sear for about 3–4 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
