Dry-Rubbed Rib-Eye
- 3 tablespoons salt*
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon pulverized crushed red pepper
- 2 teaspoons pimenton (Smoked Spanish Paprika)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Oil, for brushing grill
- 2 (22 to 24-ounce) bone-in rib-eye steaks
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Combine all of the dry ingredients in a bowl.
- Use your fingers to make sure that all of the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Rub the outside of each steak generously with the rub.
- Wrap each steak in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, 2 to 3 days is better.
- This will make the steak taste like it has been aged.
- Preheat a gas or charcoal grill.
- Brush and oil the grill to loosen and remove any crud.
- Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 20 to 30 minutes before cooking.
- Right before cooking remove the plastic wrap and lightly oil the steaks.
- Place the steaks on a very hot grill to put a char on both sides of the steak.
- When both sides of the steak have become well charred move the steak to a cooler part of the grill to continue cooking for 6 to 7 minutes per side for medium rare.
- Remove the steak from the grill and let rest in a warm spot for 7 to 8 minutes.
- Cut the steak off the bone and slice on the bias across the grain.
- Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and serve immediately.
