CAJUN BLACKENED STEAKS.
Just mix together 2 tsp of paprika, 2. tsp of fine ground black pepper , a pinch of cayenne pepper , 2 tsp of sea salt, 2 tsp of dried thyme ,2 tsp of dried oregano, 2tsp of sugar.
Reserve 3 tsp of mix for the rice.
Mix all the spices together and then spread over a flat board and coat your slices of steak on both sides. Cover and let stand.
Place 2 cups of red rice in the electric rice steamer along with 4 cups of water . Add the reserved spice mix and cook till nearly all the water is absorbed , now add to the steamer the chopped green leaves of the spring onion, thin slices of a red capsicum and a broccoli floret thinly sliced .cover and let the steamer finish its steamer cycle. the vegetables will be warm and still firm.
leave the rice in the steamer with the lid on till the steaks are cooked.
Place the steaks in a hot uncoated pan , white fat edge down to extract natural lard now place the coated sides down , turn when the steaks start to brown , repeat for the other side . Now turn off the heat and let the steaks rest in the pan for 5 minutes.
Spoon liberal amounts of the rice and vegetables on to serving plates and top each plate with a steak.
This meal is very aromatic and full of flavour and goodness.
