Ingredients
  

  • 2 New York strip steaks quality beef strip loin steaks
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil for rubbing on steak
  • 2 tablespoon butter for finishing the steaks
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder adds savory depth
  • 1 tablespoon paprika for color and smokiness
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper freshly ground preferred for a stronger flavor
  • 2 teaspoon onion powder for mild sweetness
  • 2 teaspoon kosher salt or coarse sea salt for better texture
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper adjust to your spice tolerance
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme whole, for an herbal undertone

Equipment

  • 1 Grill Set up for two-zone cooking with one hot side for searing and one cooler side for finishing.
  • 1 Instant-read thermometer Essential for checking internal temperature and getting your Cajun steak cooked exactly how you like it.
  • 1 Tongs For flipping and moving the steaks safely on the grill.
  • 1 Small bowl For mixing the Cajun seasoning blend.
  • 1 Plate For resting the steaks after cooking.

Method
 

  1. Combine all the ingredients for the Cajun seasoning in a small bowl.
  2. Take the steaks out of the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking. Rub both sides of the steaks with vegetable oil and generously season with the Cajun mix.
  3. Preheat your grill and set it up for two-zone cooking: one side for high heat and the other for lower heat.
  4. Sear the steaks on both sides over the high heat until a golden-brown crust forms. Then, move them to the cooler side of the grill to continue cooking until your desired internal temperature is achieved (check with an instant-read thermometer).
  5. Once the steaks are cooked to your liking, remove them from the grill and top each with a tablespoon of butter. Let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
