Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces ribeye steaks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked cumin
Instructions
Begin by removing your ribeye steaks from the refrigerator, allowing them to come to room temperature for about 15-20 minutes. This ensures even cooking.
In a small mixing bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and sea salt. Mix well to create a dry rub.
Rub each steak with a tablespoon of olive oil, ensuring an even coat, then evenly sprinkle the dry rub seasoning over both sides of the steaks. Press the spices into the steaks to ensure adhesion.
Preheat your grill to high heat, around 450°F (232°C). You can use an outdoor grill or a grill pan if cooking indoors.
While the grill is heating up, prepare the Paleo BBQ sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, honey, and smoked cumin. Stir the mixture well and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the grill is hot, place the steaks on the grill and sear them for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached.
In the last minute of cooking, brush the steaks with the prepared Paleo BBQ sauce, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing. This ensures the juices redistribute throughout the meat, keeping it tender and juicy.
Serve immediately, drizzling any remaining BBQ sauce over the sliced steak or on the side, along with your favorite Paleo-friendly side dishes.
