Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and brown sugar.
Add dried thyme, dried rosemary, and cayenne pepper to the bowl. Mix all the ingredients until evenly incorporated.
Using clean hands or a spoon, break up any clumps in the brown sugar to ensure a uniform consistency.
Transfer the steakhouse rub mixture to an airtight container or spice jar for storage. Store it in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
To use, generously sprinkle the rub on both sides of your steak, ensuring an even coating. Gently press the rub into the meat so it adheres well.
Allow the steak to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes after seasoning to let the flavors penetrate the meat before cooking.
