Ingredients

• 2 pieces (10-12 oz each) Bone-in ribeye steaks (or any steak of choice)
• 2 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them rest at room temperature for 20-30 minutes. This ensures even cooking.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, kosher salt, cayenne pepper, and dried oregano to create the spice rub.

Step 3

Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps achieve a good sear.

Step 4

Drizzle olive oil on both sides of the steaks and rub it in to coat evenly.

Step 5

Generously sprinkle the spice rub over both sides of the steaks, pressing it into the meat to adhere.

Step 6

Preheat your grill, cast-iron skillet, or broiler to high heat. If using a skillet, allow it to heat for 3-5 minutes until very hot and lightly coat it with oil.

Step 7

Place the steaks on the hot surface and sear for 3-4 minutes on the first side without moving, allowing a crust to form.

Step 8

Flip the steaks and sear the other side for another 3-4 minutes for medium rare. Adjust the time if you prefer a different doneness level (2-3 minutes per side for rare, 5-6 minutes per side for medium).

Step 9

Remove the steaks from the heat and transfer them to a cutting board. Let them rest for 5-10 minutes to redistribute the juices.

Step 10

Serve the spice-rubbed steaks whole or sliced, alongside your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
