Method

Cooking the Steak

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Take the ribeye steak out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Rub the steak with olive oil, then generously coat it with Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper on both sides.

  3. 3

    Cook the Steak

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Cooking the Cajun Rice

  1. 4

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 5

    Add Garlic

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 6

    Combine Rice and Broth

    Add the long-grain rice, chicken broth, Cajun seasoning, and bay leaves to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.

  4. 7

    Cook the Rice

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

  5. 8

    Fluff and Remove Bay Leaves

    Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork and remove the bay leaves.

Plating

  1. 9

    Serve the Dish

    On a serving plate, place a generous serving of Cajun rice and top with sliced steak. Garnish with sliced green onions and chopped parsley.
