Cajun Ribeye

I’m a firm believer that good food doesn’t need to be complicated. If you use quality ingredients and care, you can make something amazing with only a few, well picked items. If you have any doubt, this recipe proves it. With only two ingredients, you can make an amazing ribeye that people will talk about days after the meal. It’s juicy and flavorful, with a little heat from the seasoning. We like to top it with a little roasted garlic and herb butter for a little more complex flavor, but it is by no means necessary. Serve with our super simple grilled corn, potato, or asparagus for a refined meal that took you no time at all to make!

Calories: 727kcal

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp cajun seasoning
• 12 oz ribeye

Instructions

• Sprinkle cajun seasoning on ribeye, rubbing it evenly over the steak, including the sides. Place in container or plastic bag and let rest in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
• Pull steak about 25 minutes prior to cooking to bring it to room temperature. Put steak on preheated grill, only turning steak once during cooking, allowing the seasoning to create a crust on each side. Pull steak off the grill when it is about 5° from preferred temperature, then let rest for 5-10 minutes. Enjoy!

Notes

This recipe will work with many different kinds of steak like sirloin and NY strip, but a good aged ribeye is our favorite. 

Cooking time will vary based on the thickness of the steak and what internal temperature you are cooking it to (rare, medium rare, medium, etc).  Use a grilling thermometer to check the internal temperature to ensure proper cooking times.

This steak doesn’t need to be marinated a day ahead, but we think the flavors are better when it rests.  If you are pressed for time you can season the steak, then let it sit for 25 minutes to bring it up to room temperature, then grill.
