Cajun Style Rib Eye Steak

Cajun Style Rib Eye Steak Recipe

1 cup vegetable oil
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
6 small rib-eye steaks, approximately 3 pounds
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper or to taste
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
Begin marinating the steaks a day ahead.
1. Combine oil, sliced onion, garlic powder and 1 tablespoon black pepper in 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Add steaks to marinade, turning to coat. Spoon half of sliced onion evenly over steaks. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
2. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler. Remove steaks from marinade. Combine paprika, cayenne, salt, white pepper and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in small bowl. Sprinkle each side of each steak with 1 teaspoon spice mixture.
3. Grill or broil steaks until cooked through, about 8 minutes per side for medium-rare. Cut each steak in half. Divide steaks among plates; serve.
Serves 6.
