Cayenne Rubbed Steaks | Backyard Grill Recipes
A spicy and savory dry-rubbed steak, perfect for grill nights at home.
Ingredients
- 2 thick-cut prime steaks
- 2 tablespoons sea salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh cracked peppercorns
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper optional, to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sea salt, freshly cracked peppercorns, and cayenne pepper. Generously rub the mixture onto the steaks. Allow them to rest for at least one hour, or until the rub appears to have darkened and turned moist.
- Preheat a grill to 450°F. Spray with non-stick cooking grease. Place each steak onto the grill, searing on each side until the steaks reach the desired level of doneness: 2-3 minutes on each side for rare, 3-4 minutes for medium rare, 4-5 minutes for medium, 5-6 minutes for medium well, and 6-8 minutes for well done.
- Let the steaks rest for five to ten minutes before serving to lock in all the juices. Serve alongside BBQ shrimp kabobs, corn on the cob, and sautéed veggies. Enjoy!
