MIKE'S DRY RUB FOR STEAK



Mike's Dry Rub for Steak image

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon Saizon seasoning
2 tablespoon smoked paprika
2 tablespoon onion powder
2 tablespoon garlic powder
2 tablespoon dried oregano
2 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon celery seed

Steps:

  • Mix all into a sealable container. Store at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose the right steak: Look for steaks with good marbling, as this will help keep them moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Dry the steak thoroughly: Pat the steak dry with paper towels before applying the rub. This will help the rub adhere to the meat and create a better crust.
  • Apply the rub evenly: Use your hands to evenly coat the steak with the rub, making sure to get all sides. You can also use a brush to apply the rub, but be sure to do so gently so as not to tear the meat.
  • Let the steak rest: After applying the rub, let the steak rest for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will allow the flavors of the rub to penetrate the meat.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: When cooking the steak, use high heat to quickly sear the outside and create a flavorful crust. Then, reduce the heat and cook the steak to your desired doneness.

Conclusion:

Dry rubs are a great way to add flavor to steak without adding extra fat or calories. By following these tips, you can create a delicious and flavorful steak that is perfect for any occasion.
