Description
A delicious Cajun steak recipe topped with a sweet and tangy apricot orange glaze, perfect for a flavorful meal.
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup apricot preserves
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Rub the flank steak with olive oil and season both sides generously with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Grill the steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- While the steak is resting, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine apricot preserves, orange juice, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder. Stir until the mixture is smooth and heated through, about 3-5 minutes.
- Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
- Drizzle the apricot orange glaze over the sliced steak and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the Cajun seasoning.
- Serve with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
