Best Cajun T Bone Steak Recipes

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.

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.

BIG T-BONE STEAK

Steps:

• Allow the steak to rest at room temperature for 35 minutes before cooking.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Meanwhile, generously sprinkle the steak on all sides with salt and pepper. Once the skillet is hot, add the butter and oil and swirl until the butter melts.
• Once the butter begins to foam, place the steak in the skillet and sear for 4 minutes. Flip the steak and add the thyme and garlic to one side of the skillet. The thyme will pop and fry in the butter and oil, then will settle in a few seconds. Cook until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the steak registers 120 degrees F, about 4 minutes, then tilt the skillet a bit to collect the butter and oil and use a large spoon to baste the steak. For a medium-rare steak you can cook 4 more minutes, then remove it from your skillet at 125 degrees and let it rest for 10 minutes to reach 135 degrees F.
• Carve the meat off the bone and slice the steak into strips. Sprinkle with the flaky salt and the fried thyme sprigs and serve.

CAJUN RIB-EYE STEAK

Steps:

• Combine oil, sliced onion, garlic powder and 1 tablespoon black pepper in 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Add steaks to marinade, turning to coat. Spoon half of sliced onion evenly over steaks. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler. Remove steaks from marinade. Combine paprika, cayenne, salt, white pepper and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in small bowl. Sprinkle each side of each steak with 1 teaspoon spice mixture. Grill or broil steaks until cooked through, about 8 minutes per side for medium-rare. Cut each steak in half. Divide steaks among plates; serve.
