Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine paprika, kosher salt, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, black pepper, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, and dried thyme.
Mix the spices together thoroughly with a spoon or whisk until evenly blended.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over your steak cuts and rub the oil evenly across the surface to create a base for the seasoning to adhere to.
Generously apply the spice rub to both sides of the steaks, pressing it into the meat with your fingers to ensure it sticks. Use more or less of the rub depending on your taste preference.
Allow the steak to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to absorb the flavors, or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours for deeper seasoning.
Cook the steak using your preferred method (grilling, pan-searing, or broiling) until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving, allowing the juices to redistribute for a tender, flavorful bite.
