    Whenever we grill or broil steaks at home, I like to whip up a quick and easy dry rub to massage into the beef before throwing it on the grill.

    Using basic pantry spices, my dry steak rub has a balanced flavor profile of sweet, salty, smoky and spicy ingredients including brown sugar, smoked paprika and cayenne (for a kick.) If you want to keep the rub mild, simply omit the cayenne.

    Once the dry steak rub has had at least 30 minutes to absorb, prepare your steak however you wish. I love to throw mine on the grill and cook until it reaches medium (light pink in middle), about 7-8 minutes per side.

    Other spices that can be added to a dry steak rub?

    How long will a spice rub last?

    It’s always a great idea to double or triple this recipe and keep the spice rub in an air-tight container to use at a later time. It will stay fresh for up to 3 months if you’re starting with fresh spices.
