INGREDIENTS
Blackening Seasoning
Paprika 1 tablespoon
Sea Salt 2 teaspoons
Onion Powder 1 teaspoon
Garlic Powder 1 teaspoon
Cayenne Pepper 1 teaspoon
White Pepper ½ teaspoon
Black Pepper ½ teaspoon
Dried Thyme ½ teaspoon
Sandwich
Clarified Butter, divided 1 fl. oz.
Capers, finely chopped 1 tablespoon
Salted Butter, softened 1 oz.
French Bread, cut on the bias 4 slices
Baby Lettuce Leaves 4 oz.
Roma Tomatoes, sliced 2 tomatoes

LET'S GET COOKING!
Combine the blackened steak seasoning ingredients in a small bowl, mix well and set aside.
Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat for 5 minutes.
Dry the steak with paper toweling. Coat both sides of the steak with the blackened seasoning mix.
Place the steak in the hot pan. Let it cook for 1 minute then pour half of the clarified butter over the top. If the pan is small, the butter may flare up so be sure to watch it closely. Have the hood fans on as there will be smoke. Cook for 2 minutes.
Turn the steak over and pour the remaining clarified butter over. Cook until you have reached your desired degree of doneness.
Remove the steak from the pan and place on a plate. Tent it loosely with foil for 2 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the capers and softened butter. Spread the butter mixture on one side of each slice of bread.
Place the steak on a cutting board and cut it into slices against the grain and on the bias. Divide the steak on the buttered side of half the slices of bread. Top each with half the lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side down.
