Cajun Steak Tips

As much as I would love to jump on a plane right now and head to NOLA, I’ll settle for a this simple little spicy reminder and imagine myself there. These spicy Cajun steak tips remind me so much of New Orleans; full of flavor and so delicious.

Cajun seasoning isn’t usually too spicy so I added a bit of ground ghost pepper for heat – you can add as little or as much as you want. These Cajun steak tips are also easy to make and can be on your dinner plate in about 10 minutes. I make this with a side of greens like a buttery, garlic spinach or steamed broccoli with butter or bitter broccoli rabe. You can even have these as an appetizer for a few people, just wash it down with ice cold beer! Enjoy!
