Grilled Cajun Ribeye

The grilled Cajun ribeye steak looked amazing as it got happy in the marinade. Great color, thanks to the paprika and cayenne in the spice mix. My homemade mix since lets me adjust the flavors (in my case, hotter) to my own tastes.

Ingredients

For the steak

Instructions

  • Lay the steak out on a cutting board. Take a fork and stab the steak everywhere, all over, on both sides. Don't be shy. Stab it. A lot. Every inch of it.
  • Sprinkle the steak with the Cajun seasoning and stab some more. Get the seasoning down into every little hole.
  • Place the steak into a resealable container.
  • Add the onion and garlic, then add enough oil to just cover the steak.
  • Seal and let marinate for at least 24 hours.
  • Fire up your grill for direct cooking. You are going to cook the steak high and fast.
  • While you are waiting for the grill to warm up, place the steak onto a cookie rack to drain the oil. Flip it at least once to get any oil off that may pool on the top.
  • Place the steak over the hottest part of the grill and cook it quickly, turning once, to your desired temperature. Keep an eye on it as flare-ups will occur from any remaining oil.
  • Remove and let rest 5 minutes before serving.
