Instructions

Step 1: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 450°F). Rub 16 oz ribeye steak evenly with 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning, 1 tbsp olive oil, and season both sides with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 2: Place the steak on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, until a nice char forms and internal temperature reaches 130°F. Remove steak and let rest for 5 minutes.
Step 3: Meanwhile, melt 3 tbsp unsalted butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and cook for 2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Stir in 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley.
Step 4: Slice the rested steak against the grain and drizzle the garlic butter over the top before serving.
