Ingredients

2 tsp paprika
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp ground dried thyme
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp brown sugar
2 tsp kosher salt
2 filet mignons (8 oz each, 1-inch thick)
2 Tbsp blackened seasoning
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 Tbsp garlic herb butter

Steps:

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel.
Brush olive oil on the filets. Sprinkle the blackened seasoning over the meat and rub in. Flip over and repeat on the other side.
Turn on your kitchen exhaust fan. Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat for five minutes. When the pan is hot, add butter, and when it is melted, add the filets.
Sear the filets without moving for two minutes and turn over and sear the other side.
Remove the skillet from the heat and place in the preheated oven. Cook the filets for four to five minutes or to 120 degrees F for rare, 125 degrees for medium-rare and 130 degrees for medium. Use an instant-read meat thermometer to ensure your steaks are cooked perfectly.
Remove the steaks and place on a platter. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and allow them to rest for five to ten minutes. The temperature of the filets will come up approximately five degrees while they rest.
Top with a pat of the garlic herb butter and serve immediately.

BLACKENED GRILLED FLANK STEAK

Blackened Grilled Flank Steak image

I love flank steak because it's usually one of the cheapest cuts of beef, but it doesn't taste cheap! This is a great way to cook it for serving alongside grilled corn or other veggies. Or, you can serve it in tortillas as fajita tacos, which is what we usually do. From Cooking Light.

Mustard and tea leaves add flavor and keeps steak moist. My dad made this when we were young and everyone (including my mother) was saying 'Ewwww, yuck!' Well, after we tasted it we were literally begging for more! The tea and mustard make a delicious, flavorful crust which keeps the inside tender and juicy.
