	Cucmber Salsa
2x300-350 g Ribeye steak 1 tbsp Cajun spice mix 1 Garlic clove, minced 1/2 tsp Dried thyme 1/2 tsp Sea salt 2 tbsp Olive oil	1 English cucumber, finely chopped 1 Red onion, finely chopped 1 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar 1 tbsp Finely chopped fresh parsley Salt and black pepper to taste

Whisk together Cajun spice mix, minced garlic, thyme, salt and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a bowl. Rub the steak evenly with the marinade and let marinate for 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours. If you are marinating the steak longer than 30 minutes, then cover it with a plastic wrap and rest in the refridgerator. Bring it to the room-temperature 30 minutes before cooking.
In a medium bowl, toss cucumber, red onion, olive oil, ACV and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat grill or a large grill pan to high. Add in steaks and cook roughly 2 minutes per side for rare, 3-4 minutes per side for medium rare or 5-6 minutes per side for medium.
Transfer steak to cutting board and let rest for 5-7minutes. Slice steak against the grain and serve with cucumber salsa.
