Cajun Steak With Apricot Orange Glaze Recipe 475

Steps:

• Spice Rub/Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Cajun Spice Mix. Add 3 tablespoons to a freezer size plastic bag along with all of the Marinade ingredients. Whisk together. Pierce steak all over with a fork and add to marinade. Massage marinade into steak and seal bag. Marinate 8-24 hours, turning bag occasionally. Store remaining Reserved Cajun Spice Rub in a sealed container/bag. When ready to grill, remove 1 teaspoon Reserved Cajun Spice Rub and add it to a small saucepan for your Apricot Orange Glaze. Whisk all remaining Cajun Spice Rub with 3 tablespoons olive oil and rub all over steak while it comes to room temperature - 30-60 minutes. This will seem like a lot of rub which is a good thing. Grill: Grease and preheat grill to 400 degrees F. Sear roast for 3-5 minutes per side, cover, and turn heat down to 350 degrees F. Grill for 15 minutes, flip, cover, and cook an additional 10-20 minutes, depending on the size of your steak cut and how well done you want your steak. Watch closely that your temperature stays around 350 degrees fahrenheit. Check for doneness with a meat thermometer inserted right in the middle of the steak. Thermometer should read: 135 degrees F for medium rare, 145 degrees F for medium. The outside of the roast will get quite dark with a charred crust which is exactly what you want with this cut of steak. Remove steak from grill, loosely tent with foil and let rest 10 minutes before slicing THINLY across the grain. Serve with Apricot Orange Glaze. Apricot Orange Glaze: While the steak is grilling, whisk together all of the Apricot Orange Glaze ingredients in small sauce pan with reserved 1 teaspoon Cajun Spice Mix. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer until reduced and thickened.

Steps:

• Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking or position broiler so that top of steak on rack in pan will be 4 inches from heat source; heat broiler. Combine barbecue sauce, lime zest and 1 t. lime juice; reserve. Rub both sides of steak with seasoning and salt.
• Grill or broil steak, turning once, 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare; sprinkle with remaining 1 t. lime juice and brush with reserved sauce mixture during last minute of cooking. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing. If desired, garnish with lime and parsley and serve with additional barbecue sauce.
