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.
