Poppy’s Spicy Steak Rub

December 24, 2007

Poppy is J.’s grandpa, much beloved but so sadly no longer with us. He loved to cook and I cherish the recipes he passed on to me and the rest of the family. These are the rub proportions he liked, and it’s wonderfully spicy and a good contrast to the fattiness of the meat. Makes enough to liberally cover two rib-eye steaks.

1/2 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 Tbsp. hot paprika
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 Tbsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. dried thyme
3/4 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper

Brush steaks lightly with olive oil. Combine all seasonings in a small bowl. Sprinkle over steaks (both sides) and press mix gently into the meat. Grill or broil steaks as desired.
