CAJUN FILETS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill for cooking over medium-high heat.
• Add the steaks to a large plate and drizzle with the Worcestershire. Heavily season the tops and bottoms of the steaks with the Cajun Select Steak Seasoning. This will form a nice crust.
• Grill the steaks to desired doneness, 6 minutes per side for medium-rare (125 degrees F). Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
• Blend together the granulated garlic, paprika, salt, cayenne, onion powder, black pepper, sugar, turmeric, basil, celery seed and oregano in a bowl until combined. Store in an airtight jar for up to 6 months.
