When choosing a cut of meat for a spice-rubbed steak, look for a rib steak. It's a well-marbled cut that will stay juicy and flavorful during cooking. You'll want to choose a steak that is at least 1 inch thick, so it can hold up to the heat of the grill. Once you've selected your steak, it's time to start preparing the spice rub. A good spice rub will have a balance of sweet, savory, and heat. You can use a pre-made spice rub or create your own using spices like paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and cumin. Once the spice rub is ready, it's time to apply it to the steak. Be sure to coat the steak evenly on all sides.

SPICE-RUBBED RIBS

For grilling, here's the rub I recommend. It's made with a wonderful blend of spices. If you have some left after making ribs, put it in a shaker and use it another day on pork or beef roasts, tenderloins, steaks and more. It's great alone or under sauce. -Cheryl Ewing, Ellwood City, Pennsylvania

DRY-RUBBED RIB EYE STEAK RESTAURANT STYLE



Dry-Rubbed Rib Eye Steak Restaurant Style image

The other day I saw Chef Anne Burrell demonstrate this delicious way to serve thick and tender steak! The brown sugar in the dry rub gives the steak a crusty finish, while the smoked paprika and other spices keep it savory. The recipe calls for Kosher salt - if you only have regular table salt, reduce the amount of salt to 1 1/2 - 2 tablespoons total. You need to refrigerate the seasoned steaks for several hours, a day, or longer. I personally don't recommend the 3 day chill period (shown in the published recipe) as the salt pulls moisture out of the meat and you may dry smaller steaks out completely. Chill time and grill preparation are not included in the prep time.

Categories     Steak

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons kosher salt (to taste)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, pulverized
2 teaspoons spanish smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
oil, for brushing grill
2 (22 -24 ounce) bone-in rib eye steaks, about 2-inches thick
extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine all the spices in a bowl. Stir to evenly distribute all the ingredients. If you want to monitor the amount of salt, combine all the spices except the salt in a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon Kosher salt and stir. Taste the rub and then gradually add more salt to taste.
  • Rub the outside of each steak on all sides generously with the rub and store any leftovers in an airtight container. Wrap each steak in plastic wrap two times, and refrigerate up to 24 hours (my preference) or at most 3 days. This makes the steak taste aged.
  • Preheat a gas or charcoal grill until hot. Brush the grill to remove any left over food, then oil the grill. Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 20 to 30 minutes before cooking and let them come to room temperature. Just before cooking, remove the plastic wrap and lightly oil the steaks with extra-virgin olive oil.
  • Place the steaks on a very hot grill and char both sides of the steaks, a few minutes per side. When the outsides of the steaks have become well seared, move the steaks to a cooler part of the grill to continue cooking for 6 to 7 minutes per side for medium rare.
  • Remove steaks from the grill and let rest in a warm spot for 7 to 8 minutes. Cut the steak off the bone and slice on the bias across the grain in slices to the thickness you prefer, up to 1 inch thick. Add the bone to the serving plate if you have folks who will appreciate it. If desired, drizzle the meat with extra-virgin olive oil. Serve immediately.

SPICE-RUBBED RIB EYE STEAK WITH ORANGE-PINEAPPLE CHIPOTLE GLAZE



Spice-Rubbed Rib Eye Steak With Orange-Pineapple Chipotle Glaze image

Here's a delicious dry-rubbed rib eye served with an outstanding glaze, smoky from pureed chipotles in adobo, sweetened with orange and pineapple juice, then tempered by vinegar, lime and savory spices. It's versatile, too: you can make the glaze ahead of time and refrigerate it until ready to use, or don't reduce it to a glaze and use as a basting sauce in other recipes. The glaze/sauce is great on chicken and ribs as well. Adapted from Melinda Lee. Prep time includes making the the glaze; if it's made ahead, steaks will be ready in about 40 minutes.

Categories     Steak

Time 1h50m

Yield 2 steaks, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 cups pineapple juice
2 cups orange juice
2 cups white vinegar
3 tablespoons pureed chipotle chiles in adobo, to taste
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
salt, to taste
cracked black pepper, to taste
2 (6 -10 ounce) rib eye steaks, about 1 1/2 inches thick
2 1/2 tablespoons cumin seeds, toasted
2 tablespoons cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons kosher salt

Steps:

  • Prepare the glaze - you can make this ahead and reheat before use! In a saucepan blend the pineapple and orange juices with the vinegar, pureed chipotles and ground cumin. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer uncovered until mixture is reduced by 2/3, 45-60 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice, cilantro and salt and pepper to taste. (If you want to use as a basting sauce for other recipes, stop here.) Return mixture to heat, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer to reduce by almost one half. The glaze or basting sauce will keep, covered and refrigerated, for one month.
  • For the steak, combine the toasted cumin seeds, cracked peppercorns and salt in a small bowl. Rub the steaks on both sides with the spice mixture. Let sit at room temperature while you heat the grill.
  • Grill the steaks over very hot coals (or pan-sear the steaks over high heat) about 7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, 1-2 minutes longer for medium, less for rare, checking carefully for doneness since the thickness of the steaks and intensity of heat will affect cooking time.
  • Remove steaks from heat when just slightly underdone: cooking will continue while standing. Brush with glaze, and allow steaks to stand for 5-8 minutes. Serve on warmed plates, with extra glaze on the side.

Tips:

  • For a flavorful rib steak, choose a steak that is at least 1 inch thick.
  • To make the spice rub, combine brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub the spice mixture all over the steak, pressing it in to adhere.
  • Let the steak rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature before cooking. This will help the steak cook evenly.
  • Cook the steak over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the steak is cooked to your desired doneness. Be sure to flip the steak only once during cooking.
  • Let the steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and juicy steak.
