:eevis' dry rub..........YUMMMMMM!!!!

[Scottw]

Well, I got bombed by my good buddy and BBQ aficionado :eevis the other day. In it, he included a Mason Jar of his dry rub. This stuff smells great, good pepper (cayenne, black pepper) and some cumin I think as well as other goodies. As requested in my "self recycling" mission letter, I have used the rub successfully and will share some pics.

The rub coated some beautiful sirloin steaks from Omaha Steaks as well as some spicy home fries I made as a side. Downed it with a glass of red wine t boot.

The steaks were tender and grilled perfectly I might say. The rub was applied the night before and really penetrated the meat and created a slight crust on the outside which locked in all it's juicy splendor! What a great Sunday meal before the Giants game.

:eevis, you are a good pal and I am appreciative of you and the thoughtfulness of the bomb and the great flavor of this rub.

Those steaks look delish! Strangely I've never though of rubbing a steak before grilling it. Next time I'm doing steaks I'll have to try it.

Put the dry rub on the day before and let it sit. When I do my ribs, I do rub and let 'em sit for 48 hours prior to cooking. Good stuff.

Those look to be around med rare right? IMO anything over med rare ruins a good piece of meat.

OK med rare is acceptable, med is not.

Yeah, you typed that.

Glad you enjoyed the rub Scott! Makes me happy to know that others like it too

Agreed; nice job on cookin' those up Scott...and excellent hit :eevis. I like 'em RARE myself but I wouldn't have a problem gobbling down your Medium Rare steak; I'll be right over.
