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
- Take steak out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking so it's not ice-cold.
- Pat dry, rub lightly with olive oil, and season generously with Boom Bayou Boom.
- Heat a heavy skillet (cast iron works best) or grill until very hot.
- Cook steak about 3-4 minutes per side for medium rare (longer if thicker or if you like it more done).
- In the last minute, add butter, garlic, and herbs (if using), and spoon melted butter over the steak.
- Transfer to a plate, tent with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Char the Green Onions
- While steak rests, toss green onions with a drizzle olive oil.
- Place on hot skillet or grill, turning until lightly charred and wilted (about 1-2 minutes).
- Cut into bite-sized pieces.
Make the Salad
- Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, smoked paprika (if using), and a pinch of salt & pepper.
- Toss greens and charred green onions with dressing.
- Optional: Top with parmesan or nuts if you like a little crunch.
Serve
- Slice steak off the bone and cut into strips
- Serve on a big cutting board or platter with salad piled next to it.
- Spoon over any steak juices for extra flavor.
