• 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Onion powder
• 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, combine kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and brown sugar.

Step 2

Add dried thyme, dried rosemary, and cayenne pepper to the bowl. Mix all the ingredients until evenly incorporated.

Step 3

Using clean hands or a spoon, break up any clumps in the brown sugar to ensure a uniform consistency.

Step 5

To use, generously sprinkle the rub on both sides of your steak, ensuring an even coating. Gently press the rub into the meat so it adheres well.

Step 6

Allow the steak to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes after seasoning to let the flavors penetrate the meat before cooking.
