Smoke, Spice & Everything Nice

This blackened porterhouse seated with our Boom Bayou Boom Cajun-style seasoning topped with charred green onions and paired with a greens salad that cuts through the richness with a bright, fresh bite.

Cook the Steak

  1. Take steak out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking so it's not ice-cold.
  2. Pat dry, rub lightly with olive oil, and season generously with Boom Bayou Boom.
  3. Heat a heavy skillet (cast iron works best) or grill until very hot.
  4. Cook steak about 3-4 minutes per side for medium rare (longer if thicker or if you like it more done).
  5. In the last minute, add butter, garlic, and herbs (if using), and spoon melted butter over the steak.
  6. Transfer to a plate, tent with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Char the Green Onions

  1. While steak rests, toss green onions with a drizzle olive oil.
  2. Place on hot skillet or grill, turning until lightly charred and wilted (about 1-2 minutes).
  3. Cut into bite-sized pieces.

Make the Salad

  1. Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, smoked paprika (if using), and a pinch of salt & pepper.
  2. Toss greens and charred green onions with dressing.
  3. Optional: Top with parmesan or nuts if you like a little crunch.

Serve

  1. Slice steak off the bone and cut into strips
  2. Serve on a big cutting board or platter with salad piled next to it.
  3. Spoon over any steak juices for extra flavor.
