Sizzling Spicy Rib Eye Steaks Recipe
Your source for quick recipe every single week day.
Blake and I must have had the exact same idea. Since I have rib eye steaks so rarely, I usually just opt for a simple coating of salt and pepper, but after finding a good deal on these, I wanted to see if a dry rub would help add dimensions of flavor and actually improve the taste of the great cut of meat.
I turned to Lobel's Prime Time Grilling and found this peppery dry rub, which is spruced up with some extra chili powder for a fiery kick. It's a little out of control, but a nice change every once in a while. Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to fire up the grill, so I used the broiler. It worked, but I couldn't help but wonder what a nice charcoal punch would have done to this steak.
