Cajun Blackened Steak

Method

Cajun Blackened Steak

  1. 1

    Preparation of Ingredients

    Begin by preparing all ingredients. Peel and cube the potatoes, mince the garlic, and clean the seasonal vegetables.

  2. 2

    Cooking the Potatoes

    Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.

  3. 3

    Mashing the Potatoes

    Add the minced garlic, butter, and heavy cream to the drained potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy, seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste. Keep warm.

  4. 4

    Cooking the Seasonal Vegetables

    In a separate pot, add the seasonal vegetables and steam them for about 5-7 minutes until tender yet crisp. Set aside.

  5. 5

    Preparing the Steak

    Pat the prime sirloin steak dry with paper towels. Rub it with olive oil and coat generously with Cajun seasoning on both sides.

  6. 6

    Chargrilling the Steak

    Heat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Once hot, place the steak on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the time to your preferred doneness.

  7. 7

    Resting the Steak

    Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.

  8. 8

    Plating the Dish

    On a plate, serve a generous portion of garlic mashed potatoes, add the chargrilled steak sliced, and finish with seasonal vegetables on the side.
