Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the paprika, brown sugar, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dry mustard, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly with a fork or whisk until well combined.
Pat the steak dry with paper towels and generously sprinkle the rub over both sides of the steak.
Using your hands, press the rub firmly into the meat to ensure even coating and better flavor absorption.
Let the rubbed steaks sit at room temperature for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to penetrate.
Preheat your grill to high heat and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Grill the steak to your desired doneness, flipping only once during cooking, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
