Ingredients

• 2 pieces ribeye steaks
• 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 300 grams cherry tomatoes
• 1 small red onion
• 15 grams fresh parsley
• 1 large lemon
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Rub both sides of the steaks generously with 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning per steak and drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil on each. Massage the seasoning into the meat and let it sit at room temperature while preparing the salad.

Step 3

Toss the cherry tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place them on the grill or in a hot skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skins are blistered and slightly charred. Transfer to a bowl and let cool slightly.

Step 4

Thinly slice the red onion and roughly chop the parsley. Add them to the bowl with the charred tomatoes.

Step 5

Squeeze the juice of the lemon over the tomato salad, drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Toss gently to combine and set aside.

Step 6

Place the steaks on the preheated grill or skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust based on your preferred doneness level. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.

Step 7

Remove the steaks from the heat, cover loosely with foil, and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.

Step 8

Plate the Cajun steak alongside a generous serving of the charred tomato salad. Garnish with additional parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
