Notes

For a smoky depth, add 1 tsp smoked paprika. If you love heat, mix in ½ tsp cayenne pepper. A pinch of mustard powder adds a tangy, steakhouse-style kick.
For best results, coat the steak generously and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking. For deeper infusion, refrigerate overnight.
Mix 2 tablespoons of the dry rub with 1–2 tablespoons of olive oil (or melted butter for richness) to create a paste. This helps the seasoning adhere better, forming a flavorful crust while keeping the steak extra juicy!
This rub stays fresh and flavorful for up to 6 months. Just give it a quick mix before each use!
