📝 Preparation Steps
1
Spice rub: Whisk the Cajun Spice Mix seasonings together in a small bowl. Remove 1 tablespoon to a medium bowl to use later in the Cajun Butter; set aside.
2
Season and refrigerate steak: Pat steaks dry with a paper towel. Lightly coat in olive oil. Season all sides with remaining Cajun Spice Mix and rub it in a bit. Place the steaks in the fridge, uncovered, for 1 to ⏱️ 48 hours. If you are short on time, you can skip refrigerating and let the steaks rest at room temperature for ⏱️ 60 minutes before grilling.
3
Cajun butter: Meanwhile, make the Cajun Butter by adding all of the butter ingredients to the bowl with the 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning. Mash all of the ingredients together until blended. Add softened butter to a piece or plastic wrap and form into a log as your roll up the plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator until firm (about ⏱️ 45 minutes) or until ready to use.
4
Bring steak to room temperature: When ready to grill, remove the steaks from the fridge and let them rest at room temperature for ⏱️ 60 minutes before cooking. If the Cajun butter is firm, remove it from the fridge to soften at bit at this time.
5
Prep grill: Heat grill to 450-500 degrees F with the lid closed (you will grill with the lid open), this will take about ⏱️ 10-15 minutes. Thoroughly clean the grill using a wire brush. Once the grill reaches temperature, grease the grill using tongs holding a wad of paper towels greased with vegetable oil.
6
Grill steaks. Add steaks and grill to desired doneness (see temperatures below), using tongs to turn the steaks once (never a fork). You want the temperature to register 5°F lower than the desired doneness (steaks will continue to cook after removing from the grill).
7
Rest and butter: Transfer steaks to a cuttingboard or platter. Add a generous slice of Cajun Butter to each steak and loosely tent with foil. Let rest at least ⏱️ 10 minutes before slicing against the grain. Serve with additional butter if desired.
