Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs. top sirloin trimmed and cubed
- 2 Tbsp. cajun seasoning 2 1/2 for extra heat
- 1/2 Tbsp. butter or coconut oil
Cajun Seasoning
- 3 Tbsp. smoked paprika
- 1.5 Tbsp. salt
- 2 Tbsp. garlic powder
- 1 Tbsp. onion powder
- 1 Tbsp. dried oregeno
- 1 Tbsp. cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp. fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl or mason jar, combine the Cajun seasoning and set aside. You will only use 1.5 Tbsp. of this seasoning but can use it on many other recipes.
- Cut the steak into 1 inch cubes. Place in a mixing bowl and add the 2 Tbsp. cajun seasoning. Mix to fully coat.
- In a medium cast iron skillet or skillet, heat the butter until melted over medium high heat. Add the steak to the pan of melted butter. Cook for at least 2 minutes before stirring the steak pieces so that you get a good sear on them. Continue cooking for another 2 minutes until they’re golden brown and cooked to your liking.
- Remove and serve with sides like mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables.
Notes
- Nutritional information is an estimate and will vary with substitutions.
- Serving size is approximately 4.5 oz. cooked steak. It's best to weigh your final and divide by 4, as the final weight will vary depending on your desired doneness.
- If using store bought Cajun seasoning I’d recommend using 3/4-1 Tbsp. only as it’s very salty and I highly recommend the homemade stuff!
