Steak Rub

Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. Shelf life depends on the freshness of individual ingredients.

Apply the rub generously to all sides of the steak at least 30 minutes before cooking to allow flavors to meld.

For deeper flavor, apply the rub several hours or even overnight before cooking, storing the steak loosely covered in the refrigerator.

Adjust the amount of salt in the rub based on your personal preference and the saltiness of other ingredients you might use.

Experiment with different spice combinations to create your signature steak rub.

Grilled vegetables

Mashed potatoes

Salads

Garlic bread

Applying the rub too close to cooking time, not allowing flavors to penetrate the meat.

Using too much salt, which can overpower the steak's natural flavor.

Forgetting to season the sides of the steak, leading to uneven flavor.
