# Instructions:
01 -
Combine all Cajun Spice Mix items in a bowl. Take 2 tablespoons and mix with all Marinade ingredients in a freezer bag. Poke meat all over with fork, put in bag, rub thoroughly and close it up. Let sit for 8-24 hours, flipping now and then. Keep leftover spice mix in an airtight container.
02 -
Take 1 teaspoon of your saved Cajun Mix for the glaze. Mix what's left with 3 tablespoons olive oil and coat your meat completely. Leave it out for 30-60 minutes to warm up.
03 -
Oil and heat your grill to 400°F (200°C). Brown the meat for 3-5 minutes each side, then lower heat to 350°F (175°C) and cover. Cook for 15 minutes, turn it over, cover again, and cook another 10-20 minutes depending how you like it. Try to keep the temp around 350°F (175°C).
04 -
Stick a meat thermometer in the thickest part. For pink inside, look for 135°F (57°C); for medium, aim for 145°F (63°C). The outside should be dark and crusty.
05 -
Take meat off the grill, loosely cover with foil and wait 10 minutes. Cut into thin slices against the grain and serve with your glaze.
06 -
While meat cooks, mix all Apricot Orange Glaze stuff with that teaspoon of Cajun Mix in a small pot. Let it boil, then turn down the heat and simmer until it gets thick.
# Notes:

Don't worry about the dark crust forming on your steak - it's supposed to happen and gives amazing taste.
