Ingredients:

• 1 pound of beef steak (sirloin or ribeye works best)
• 2 tablespoons of blackening seasonings (paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper)
• 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil

Instructions:

1. Start by seasoning the beef steak with the blackening seasonings. Make sure to coat the steak evenly on both sides.
2. Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until it's smoking hot.
3. Add the vegetable oil to the skillet and carefully place the seasoned steak in the pan.
4. Cook the steak for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness. Adjust the cooking time based on your preferred level of doneness.
5. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
