Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (each 8 oz) boneless beef steak (such as ribeye or sirloin)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons low sodium tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Place the steaks on a large plate and pat them dry with paper towels.
Brush each steak with olive oil on both sides.
In a small bowl, combine black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, and brown sugar.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the steaks, ensuring they are well coated.
In another small bowl, mix low sodium tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, and water until smooth.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired level of doneness.
While grilling, generously brush each side of the steaks with the prepared low sodium BBQ sauce.
Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve warm with your preferred side dishes, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
