Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt *See Notes
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a quart-sized Ziploc bag and seal it tightly. Shake it to thoroughly combine all ingredients.
  • Generously cover each side of the steak with the seasoning and let it rest for about 40 minutes. This allows the salt to penetrate through the surface and break down the muscle fibers, which results in a more tender meat.
  • Once the grill is nice and hot, place the steak(s) on and cook for 4-5 minutes, until it’s browned and slightly charred. Flip it over and cook for the following additional time:
  • 5 minutes: Medium Rare
    7 minutes: Medium
    10 minutes: Well Done

Notes

*I always encourage people to season to taste with salt, you can always add more if needed.

This recipe makes 2.4 Tablespoons.

Best steaks for the grill: 
Filet Mignon, Porterhouse, N.Y. Strip, & Ribeye steaks are all great options for grilling.

Alternative Recipe for Steak Rub:
  • 4 Tbsp. Lawry's seasoning salt
  • 1 Tbsp. Black pepper

  • 1 Tbsp. Garlic salt

Serving Suggestion: Serve your steak with a side of my Smooth & Creamy Homemade Mashed Potatoes with my 10-minute Brown Gravy.
