Best 7 Cajun Butter Recipes

CAJUN BUTTER

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Serve with corn. Refrigerate leftovers.

CAJUN BUTTER GARLIC STEAK BITES

Steps:

• **This is Homemade Cajun Seasoning mix. Feel free to use your own recipe or store bought, we just use about 2-3 Tbsp of seasoning. Use more for more spice.
• Combine cajun seasoning in mixing bowl. Add the steak bites and toss to evenly coat.
• Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a skillet or pan over medium-high heat until hot.
• Sear the steak bites in batches for 2-3 minutes each side (about 3-4 for more well-done bites) until edges are crispy and browned, adding extra oil as needed. Remove from pan (I use tongs to place them on a cutting board/bowl--this will also allow the meat to cool a bit, soaking in its juices!).
• Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet and heat until melted. Sauté the chopped garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds), while scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
• Take the pan off heat. Throw the steak bites back in and toss through the garlic butter to evenly coat.
• Serve warm.
• I served this to my family with Rhodes rolls, mashed potatoes/gravy, and "Mamas Kitchen Hope" 24K Carrot recipe. Very easy recipes that you can make into a wonderful meal!

• Remove and discard the corn silk.
• Spread about 1 tablespoon of the seasoned butter evenly over the kernels of each ear of corn.
• Fold the husks back over the kernels and use a string or thin strip of husk to tie them at the top.
• Grill the corn over direct medium heat for about 25-30 minutes or until the kernels are tender (turn 3 or 4 times during gilling time).
• Don't worry if the husks brown or burn.
• Take corn from the grill.
