Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Paprika (sweet or smoked)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder

- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well using a spoon or whisk until evenly blended.
Pat the steak dry with a paper towel to ensure the rub adheres well.
Generously sprinkle the rub over the steak, coating both sides evenly. Use your hands to gently press the rub into the meat to help it stick.
