Ingredients
  

For the Seasoning:

  • 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
  • 1.5 tablespoons of sweet paprika
  • 2 tablespoons of garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon of onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons of Mexican oregano
  • 1 tablespoon of dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon of cracked black pepper
  • ¼ tablespoon of cayenne pepper increase if more heat is desired
  • ¾ tablespoon of salt decrease if desired

For the Steak:

  • 2 1- inch thick bone-in or boneless Ribeye steaks about 1 lb each
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • Compound butter for finishing if desired

Instructions
 

For the Seasoning:

  • Combine all of the ingredients. You can grind it in a small electric herb grinder for a finer mix that better coats the surface, or leave it whole if desired for more texture. Store in an air-tight glass jar or bag for future use.

For the Steak:

  • Let the steaks come to room temperature, leaving them out around 30 minutes. Pat the surface dry with some paper towels. Rub the steaks with the olive oil, then rub on as much of the spice mix as you want. Start off with about 1/2 teaspoon per steak and add more if you want a thicker crust.
  • Grill, oven roast, or cook in a hot cast iron pan until the desired level of doneness. Consider finishing the steak with flavored compound butter to further amp up the flavor.

Notes

Serve alongside your favorite Cajun dishes like boudin balls, rice and beans, mustard greens, smothered okra and tomatoes, and black eyed peas.
