Simple Steak Rub

A simple steak rub is a great way to add flavor to meat. It is especially useful if you're using a cheaper cut of meat and/or a lower quality grade of beef.
Remember a great steak doesn't need a rub or marinade to make it better. Rubs and marinades can enhance or even deter from the flavor of a good steak, so choose wisely.

I prefer a lightly seasoned "approach" to allow the natural beef flavor to come through.

freshly ground pepper

brown sugar

chili powder

Rubs and marinades are a great way to experiment; create a couple of different rubs and use on a few different steaks. Sample and take note of your preferences. Revise and Repeat.Good cooks experiment trying again and again until it's perfected to your preference.
