creole style beef tenderloin steaks
This is a super simple and quick way to prepare steaks with a Creole flair and a bit of kick from the warm spices and red pepper (paprika). As written, it provides a nice "kick" without being overwhelming. But if you prefer a more intense heat, then feel free to increase the amount of red pepper flakes (or more paprika) for more of a spicy tone.

How To Make creole style beef tenderloin steaks
-
Step 1In a small bowl, thoroughly combine the mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, sage, thyme, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and cumin. Sprinkle the rub over each steak then rub it in so the rub is incorporated into the meat. Turn steaks, and repeat by rubbing the spice rub into the other side of each steak.
-
Step 2Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Coat skillet with the cooking spray. Add steaks to skillet, and sauté for about 4 to 5 minutes. Turn steaks and cook other side for another 4 minutes or until cooked to desired doneness.
-
Step 3Remove steaks from skillet and let stand about 5 to 10 minutes before serving (to allow flavors to meld).
