Blackened Steak Salad

How do you make blackened steak?
Steak is usually referred to as “blackened” when it has been tossed with a variety of spices before cooking. In this recipe, sirloin steak is cut into cubes and tossed with a decent amount of Cajun seasoning. Cajun seasoning is sold in your market’s spice aisle. If you don’t want to buy Cajun seasoning, you can use the spices you have in your spice cupboard to make your own Homemade Cajun Seasoning.

You’ll just cook the cubed, seasoned steak in a skillet with a little bit of nonstick spray until the steak bites are cooked through. Then you can let them cool a bit before you add them to the salad.
