Dry Rubbed Steak Recipe

This is about as easy as it gets, and in my opinion is a well worth the time.  Dirty Apron Beef Rub is a great compliment to a steak.  The flavors accent, but do not overpower, the beef.  All you need is a steak and the Dirty Apron Rub and you're good to go.

Ingredients

  • Steak (however many you want, whatever cut you want), I usually use a strip steak or a rib-eye
  • Dirty Apron Beef Rub

Instructions

  1. Put your steak on the counter to let it come up to room temperature, preheat your grill.  I use charcoal or wood, so I'll light a chimney of charcoal when I pull the steak out of the fridge.
  2. Sprinkle your steak with Dirty Apron Beef Rub just before you're ready to put it on the grill.  How much is up to you, on a thinner steak I'll use a little less, on a thicker steak I'll go heavy.
  3. Oil your grill grates to prevent sticking and cook the steak on a hot grill.  If you're a fan of hash marks you can rotate your steak 45 degrees 2 minutes after you put it on the grill and again 2 minutes after you turn it over.  I usually go 3-5 minutes a side total (depending on how thick the steak is) for medium rare.  Turn the steak and give it another 3-5 minutes.  If you have a fatty cut and start to get flare ups you might need to move the steak around.
  4. Rest your steak for 5-7 minutes depending on how thick it is.  While the steak is resting plate up any sides you have and serve as soon as the meat is rested.
