Cajun T Bone Steaks Recipes

CAJUN T-BONE STEAKS

Steps:

• Combine the garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper and cayenne in a small bowl. Place the steaks on a rack set on a baking sheet. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly on both sides of the steaks (use all of the spice mixture). Let the steaks sit on the rack at room temperature for 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
• Preheat a grill to medium high. Lightly oil the grates. Place the steaks on the grill, cover and cook until dark grill marks form on the underside and the steaks release easily from the grill, about 6 minutes. Flip the steaks and continue cooking until a thermometer inserted into the center registers 125˚ for medium rare, 5 to 7 more minutes. Remove to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.

T-BONE STEAK WITH CHARRED TOMATO-HORSERADISH BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high, then prepare for indirect grilling (for a charcoal grill, bank the coals to one side of the grill; for a gas grill, turn off half the burners). Let the steaks stand at room temperature, 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, brush the grill grates with vegetable oil. Grill the tomato halves over direct heat until charred, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Let cool, then transfer to a mini food processor; pulse until slightly chunky. Add the butter, horseradish, tomato paste, paprika, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Process until smooth, scraping down the food processor occasionally. Transfer the tomato butter to a bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Place on the cooler side of the grill. Cover and cook until a thermometer inserted sideways into the center registers 110 degrees F, about 8 minutes per side. Move the steaks to direct heat and cook, uncovered, until charred and the thermometer registers 125 degrees F for rare to medium rare, about 2 more minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board or baking sheet; spread the tomato butter on the steaks and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.

PAN SEARED T-BONE STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. A half-hour before cooking, remove steak from refrigerator.
• Heat a large skillet over high heat. Pat steak dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Add oil to hot skillet and when it begins to smoke add steak. Reduce heat slightly and cook steak until browned, about 4 minutes on each side. Transfer skillet to the oven. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted sideways into the steak registers 120 degrees F for medium-rare, about 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes. Cut steak from the bone and carve meat across the grain.
