Serves: 1 batch
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients: brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and salt.
- Whisk the ingredients together thoroughly, ensuring that all spices are evenly distributed and no clumps remain.
- Pat the flank steak dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which will help the dry rub adhere better.
- Generously sprinkle the dry rub mixture over both sides of the flank steak, using your hands to massage the spices into the meat, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Allow the seasoned steak to sit at room temperature for 15-30 minutes before grilling or cooking, which helps the flavors penetrate the meat and ensures more even cooking.
- For best results, grill or cook the flank steak to your desired doneness, typically 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
- Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute before slicing against the grain.
Tips
- Ensure your flank steak is completely dry before applying the rub to maximize spice adherence and create a beautiful crust.
- Don't be shy with the seasoning - generously coat both sides of the meat for maximum flavor penetration.
- Let the seasoned steak rest at room temperature for 15-30 minutes before cooking to help the spices meld with the meat and ensure more even cooking.
- For the best results, use a hot grill or cast-iron skillet to create a delicious sear and lock in those incredible flavors.
- Always slice your flank steak against the grain to ensure tender, melt-in-your-mouth bites that showcase your culinary skills.
- Experiment with the cayenne pepper quantity to adjust the heat level to your personal preference.
- Store any leftover dry rub in an airtight container for up to a month to have this flavor bomb ready at a moment's notice!
