Equipment

  • Outdoor Barbecue Grill

Ingredients

  • 4 Choice New York Steaks
  • canola oil (or vegetable oil) to taste
  • kosher salt to taste

Rub Ingredients:

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic (dried garlic flakes or garlic powder work great too)
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • About 4 to 6 hours before grilling, pat steak dry and brush lightly with a little cooking oil.

  • Mix together the rubbed ingredients in a medium bowl. Rub the spices all over the 4 steaks and wrap each individually in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours.
  • Half an hour before grilling, remove steaks from the kitchen counter. You want the steaks to warm to room temperature before you grill them.
