This recipe is from Cooking Light magazine. It is also good on chicken breasts, shrimp, or pork tenderloin. I make the rub and cover the steaks with it before I stick them in the freezer for a make-ahead meal. When they are thawed they are ready to go straight to the grill.

  • Season the steak well: Before cooking, season the steak with a generous amount of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. This will help to enhance the flavor of the steak.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: Sear the steak in a hot skillet or on a grill over high heat for a few minutes per side. This will create a nice crust on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
  • Let the steak rest: After cooking, let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more flavorful and tender steak.
