Smoky BBQ Steak

Smoky Southwest BBQ Rib Eye Steak

Ingredients:

- 1 or 2 Rib Eye Steaks 

- 2 tablespoons Smoky Southwest Meat Rub seasoning

- Salt and black pepper to taste

- melted butter for brushing

Instructions:

1. Prep the Rib Eye Steaks:

   - Take the rib eye steaks out of the fridge and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.

   - Pat the steaks dry with kitchen roll to ensure a good sear.

2. Season with Smoky Southwest Meat Rub:

   - Rub the Smoky Southwest Meat Rub seasoning onto both sides of the steaks. Ensure they are evenly coated with the seasoning.

   - Sprinkle salt and black pepper to taste, complementing the flavors of the rub.

3. Preheat the BBQ:

   - Preheat your BBQ to high heat

4. Brush with melted butter:

   - Brush both sides of the seasoned steaks with melted butter. This helps create a nice sear and prevents sticking.

5. Grill the Steaks:

   - Place the steaks on the hot BBQ and sear for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium rare.

7. Rest the Steaks:

   - Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and flavorful steak.

8. Slice and Serve:

   - Slice the rib eye steaks against the grain into desired portions.

   - Serve hot with your favorite BBQ sides, like grilled vegetables, corn on the cob, or a fresh salad.
