Grilled Dry Rub Steaks
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
2 (8 ounce) rib eye steaks
In small bowl, combine paprika, brown sugar, and onion powder. Mix well. Rub mixture over steaks. Grill steaks over medium high heat to desired doneness. Makes 2 servings.

When mixing up a batch of this dry rub, use the paprika of your choice. There are so many to pick from. Sweet Paprika, Smokey Paprika, Spicy Paprika, Chipotle Paprika, I could go on and on but I think you get the idea. This recipe is just a starting place. If you have a picky family, this is a good basic and mild rub to test out on them. It gives the steak a delicious sweet and savory flavor.
This is the recipe I was cooking up when the rattlesnakes came a calling. Scrambled Hen Fruit called this recipe "Snake Bait" Dry Rub when she left a comment on Tuesday's post. Maybe I should change the name, "Snake Bait" Dry Rub, it has a good ring to it.

These steaks look delicious, are you sure they are not rattlesnake? :) Diane
ReplyDeleteI'm following you! I thought I was, but I must have just put you in google reader and didn't formally follow you!
ReplyDeleteMy kinda meal! YUM...
ReplyDeleteOh I would love to make this. Unfortunately I don't have a barbecue and I know from experience that sugar on a grill pan makes everyone think the house is actually on fire. Especially the landlord. I guess I'll put it in the "someday" file. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMMMM... I only use grass fed beef so for some time we've been eating them "virgin" getting used to the 'new' flavor of what beef used to taste like (before corn fed, feedlots) but I am going to have to give this a try! Variety is the spice of life, right? Oh, but I think I'll skip the rattlesnakes.
ReplyDeleteDiane, you are funny! i promise they are not rattlesnake.
ReplyDeletePam, thanks for following! I love your blog!
Gnee @Singing With Birds, I like simple recipes that are full of flavor.
Recipe for Delicious, I hope you get a grill someday. I love mine, minus the rattlesnakes of course.
The Good Cook, when you make this recipe, I would suggest letting the rub sit on the steak for about an hour. It will help to flavor the steak more and that may help to mask the fact that the healthier meat tastes different.
The steaks look delicious! I love dry rubs and this one is so simple. Thanks for sharing. Also, congrats on your win...always nice to try new things! Hope you have a great day, Linda!
ReplyDeleteLinda, this was well worth the snake episode! They look delicious, a must try and think I'll use smoked paprika. Never, ever thought I'd be trying a "Snake Bait Dry Rub!"
ReplyDeleteI love grilling steaks, this rub sounds good! I love simple recipes. I have many kinds of paprika, I love it! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI bet the rub would work well on rattlesnake too.
ReplyDeleteLinda, I just listened to your segment on Passion Radio!
ReplyDeleteHearing you talk about the snake was incredible, so scary! I have to say it was pretty funny with Buddy though and I can imagine you having to carry him out the door the next morning! He's one smart dog!
And Fareed's story was absolutely the worst with his sister and the Cobra. I'm sure he and his father were petrified!
Good segment, even if it was about snakes! LOL!
I am following. Tomorrow is Canada Food Day! We hope to be celebrating with a BBQ with friends. What a great way to jazz up our steaks.
ReplyDeleteI am passing this delish recipe to my hubby - the griller! sandie
ReplyDeleteYum, I want this for dinner

ReplyDeletePam, thanks for listening to my show! You are such a good friend! I am so glad we connected:)
Lyndsey, I love paprika and also have several flavors of it in my kitchen. Maybe we are related.
Bo, I bet the rub would be good on rattlesnake. I think I will leave it up to you to find out.
One of Ottawa's Real Foodies, I wish I was there to celebrate Canada's Food Day! I bet it will be a lot of fun. I will check your blog to see how it was.
Chatty Crone, my husband does most of the grilling at our house too.
Jennifurla, it was really good!
Jemm, I am a very blessed lady! I thank God everyday for the life He has given me!
Virinda, thank you!
Lani, my husband likes it with the spicy paprika best. You have a happy weekend too!
David, I hope you and Mindy enjoy it!
Yum. I have been craving steaks all week and we're having them tonight... may have to give this recipe to the hubs! thanks!
ReplyDeleteThere'll be ribeye on the grill tomorrow night!! I'll watch for rattlesnakes! ;)
ReplyDeleteYUM.... I'm a meat and potatoes gal.
ReplyDeleteI read the previous post about the snakes. YIKES!
Rib eye...my favorite. I get goosebumps whenever I see a photo of it grilling. Is that sick?
ReplyDeleteAh...here's the "Snake Bait Dry Rub" I've been waiting for! (I do think it's a perfect name.)I can see why those snakes were lurking around- this sounds delicious! Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteLooks really good. Simple and delicious! I love paprika and anything spicy! Don't have a barbeque, will have to use the oven grill. Thank you Linda, for stopping by my blog and for joining me as a follower. It is really cool to have you over. Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteLinda, It is so nice to meet you. I am always looking for great recipes. I have signed up as a new follower. thank you so much for your kind comments about my blog. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteRibeye doesn't NEED anything more than salt and pepper but I do like to mix it up every now and then and do something different like this dry rub. I just did some soy, ginger, and garlic ones last night. It's just a nice change of pace.
ReplyDeleteDry rubs are the best. For a really simple rub, I like using brisket rub. It's a good flavor and tenderizes the meat. Great photos.
ReplyDeletePlan B
These steaks look mouthwatering and the rub is fab! I can't wait to try it and how scary about those rattlesnakes!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. I have a couple of those "picky eaters" so this sounds like a good one to try.
ReplyDeleteThat's such an easy recipe Linda, will give it a try some day, and a lovely click too. I am looking forward to win a copy of your book :D
ReplyDeleteI have an award on my blog for you. sandie
ReplyDeleteOoh, yum, makes me wish I had a grill!
ReplyDeleteJane
I just started to following you, Thanks for stopping by my blog. These steaks sound really mouthwatering and delicious. I will come back more often to check what you cooking the next.
ReplyDeleteGood seasoning for the steak you are using over there. :)
ReplyDeleteI never think to put rubs on steaks, only pork. I guess that's a side effect of living in barbecue country!
ReplyDeleteLinda, this is sure my kind of cooking...love steaks!
ReplyDeleteWell it sure looks great! I don't eat red meat, but I still think so. =)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your win!
I love steak and those ones looks so delicious!!!!
ReplyDeleteLia.
