Blackened "Cravin’" Steak Bites

• Yields: 2–3 servings

• Prep time: 5 mins | Cook time: 6 mins

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp K&Co. Apothecary Cravin’ Cajun Seasoning

• 1 lb Sirloin or Ribeye, cut into 1-inch cubes

• 2 tbsp Butter (melted)

• 1 tbsp High-heat oil (Avocado or Grapeseed)

• Optional: A side of Garlic Butter or Blue Cheese dressing for dipping.

Instructions

1. The Butter Bath: Place your steak cubes in a bowl. Pour the melted butter over them and toss until every side is coated. This helps the spices stick and creates that famous "blackened" crust.

2. The "Cravin’" Coating: Sprinkle the 1 tbsp of Cravin’ Cajun over the steak. Toss well. You want the meat to look dark red and completely covered in the herbal, peppery blend.

3. The High Heat: Heat your skillet (cast iron is best) over high heat until it’s nearly smoking. Add the oil.

4. The Sear: Drop the steak bites in. Do not crowd the pan; do this in two batches if necessary.

   • Let them sit undisturbed for 2 minutes to develop a dark, crispy "Cajun crust."

   • Flip and sear for another 2–3 minutes for medium-rare.

5. Rest: Remove from the pan and let them rest for 2 minutes. The juices will redistribute, and the crust will firm up.
