Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound steak cut into bite sized pieces, about 1 inch each
  • 2 teaspoons Creole or Cajun seasoning (we like Tony Chachere's)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional, add more if you like it hot
  • 1 Tablespoon canola oil or other oil with a high smoke point

Instructions
 

  • Mix seasoning blend, paprika, thyme and optional cayenne
  • Toss steak bites into seasoning blend, coating all sides.
  • Heat oil in cast iron skillet over medium heat until a drop of water sizzle and "dances" on the surface
  • Add steak bites to skillet, being careful not to crowd. Cook for 1-1.5 minutes and then turn cooking an additional 1-1.5 minutes, depending on your desired steak temperature and thickness of steak.
  • Remove immediately.

Notes

  • Don't add any salt unless you are using a salt-free Cajun/Creole Seasoning.
  • Cooking time will vary with the thickness of the steak and the amount of doneness you desire.
