# Instructions:
01 -
In a bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, chili powder, dried oregano, onion powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, sea salt, and garlic powder. Set aside.
02 -
Generously sprinkle the Cajun seasoning all over the NY strip steak. Transfer the seasoned steak to a plate and refrigerate uncovered for 30 minutes - 1 hour.
03 -
In a large bowl (in which the steak could fit), whisk together the following ingredients: brown sugar, bourbon, minced garlic, olive oil, grain mustard, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, teaspoon of cajun seasoning blend, and thyme. Save half of the marinade for later.
04 -
Next, add the steaks to the large bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes or up to 6 hours. The longer......the better!
05 -
Heat up a large cast iron skillet. Remove the steak from the marinade and season all sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook the steaks for roughly 3-4 minutes per side or until the steak reaches 135 degrees F (for medium-rare).
06 -
Rest the Cajun bourbon steak, while preparing the cajun butter sauce. With the reserved marinade place into a saucepan and bring to a rapid boil. Reduce the heat to a medium-low and continue to cook the sauce until it begins to thicken. Lastly, whisk in the unsalted butter and then remove from the heat.
07 -
Slice the steak. Pour the cajun butter sauce over the steak. Garnish with dried parsley and serve immediately.
