Tips:

  • Use a good quality steak: A well-marbled steak will cook up more tender and flavorful.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful mixture of spices and herbs will help to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: This will help to caramelize the outside of the steak and keep the inside juicy.
  • Don't overcook the steak: A steak that is cooked too long will be tough and dry. Cook it to your desired doneness, using a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy.
  • Let the steak rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bite.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite sides: Cajun pepper steak pairs well with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
