Preparation
- 1
Combine all the ingredients and store in an airtight container until needed.
- 1
Always go for your favourite cut of steak, be it flank, rib-eye, strip loin or sirloin.
- 2
Remember to lightly oil your steak prior to cooking.
- 3
Sprinkle both sides generously with your steak rub and leave at room temperature for 20 minutes while your grill is heating up.
- 4
The best steaks are always cooked on a preheated grill that has been brushed clean.
- 5
Don’t listen to what others say: grill your steak to the doneness you like best!
- 6
Never forget to rest your steak in a warm place for 5 to 8 minutes before eating. This process lets the temperature and juices equalize in the steak, making for a nicer looking (and eating) piece of meat.

Don’t be shy to try this rub on hamburgers, pork and lamb, too.
