Spicy Filet Mignon

SUBMITTED BY: Vera Kobiako 

"I adapted this recipe from a seasoning I saw for blackened catfish. Because these steaks have a lot of kick, I make a more mellow side dish, like buttered potatoes or grilled fresh vegetables. --Vera Kobiako, Jupiter, Florida"

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 2 teaspoons onion salt
