This Ruth’s Chris–style Cajun Ribeye delivers everything you expect from a steakhouse favorite: a bold, spicy crust, a juicy, tender center, and rich buttery flavor in every bite. It is a simple yet powerful way to elevate a high-quality ribeye into a restaurant-worthy meal at home.
The Cajun seasoning blend brings layers of heat and earthiness, combining paprika, cayenne, garlic, and herbs to create a deeply flavorful crust. Pressing the seasoning directly into the meat ensures it adheres well and forms that signature char during the sear.
A screaming-hot cast iron skillet is key to achieving the perfect crust. The steak sears undisturbed, locking in juices while developing a deep, caramelized exterior. Finishing with butter and basting adds richness and a glossy finish that mirrors the classic Ruth’s Chris presentation.
Despite its bold flavor, this steak is quick and approachable to prepare. With just a few minutes per side and a short resting period, you can serve a steak that rivals any steakhouse experience.
