How to Use a Rub on Steak:
Before preparing to use this steak rub, you need to first prepare your steaks. We recommend pat dry your steak with paper towels so that the seasoning sticks. Drying time takes about 5 minutes.
Spread the seasoning on side of the steak. Then flip the steak and spread it on the other side. We recommend using your fingers to press the seasoning into the steak.
You can go ahead and cook the steak or allow it to rest for about 30 minutes. This allows the seasoning blend to marinate into the steak for the best flavor. You can even let it set overnight to really enhance the flavor.
After marinating the steak, then your are ready to grill or cook on the stove top. The results are a delicious flavored steak recipe.
