How to make Cajun Surf N Turf Frites
Start off by applying an avocado oil binder to a ribeye and season it with a salt, pepper garlic blend on both sides. Optional: let the steak come to room temp 45-60 minutes prior to cooking the steak. This helps the steak tender and cook more evenly.
Insert a Meatermade MEATER plus to help monitor the internal temperature on the cook. I am going with a perfect medium rare on this cook, so I am targeting an internal temperature of 135°F.
The star of the show here is the Cajun Compound Butter. Make this ahead of time and leave it in the refrigerator until it’s time to rest your steak.
Today I’m cooking with my Nomad Grill. I’m smoking the ribeye at 250F for about 20 mins, then I will sear it over direct heat on both sides until it reaches 127F.
Remove the steak from the grill, put it on a plate then top it with two slices of the Cajun Compound Butter and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
While the steak is resting, cook the blackened seasoned shrimp over direct heat for a 2-3 minutes each side.
When the ribeye is done resting, slice it against the grain for the most tender bite.
Serve the steak and shrimp on a plate with Parmesan truffle fries.
