CLASSIC RUB-A-DUB BBQ STEAK

pREP TIME: 10 MINUTES

COOK TIME: 8-12 MINUTES

Ingredients

• For the Steak:

  • 2 x 300 g ribeye, sirloin, or porterhouse steaks

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 tsp Rub-A-Dub Smoky Pepperberry Seasoning

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper

• Optional Sides and Garnishes:

  • Grilled vegetables (zucchini, bell peppers, asparagus)

  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Method

1. Prepare the Steaks:

   • Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with olive oil and season generously with Rub-A-Dub Smoky Pepperberry Seasoning, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. For extra flavor, let the steaks marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.

2. Preheat the BBQ Grill:

   • Heat your BBQ grill to high (about 220–250°C). Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

3. Cook the Steaks:

   • Place the steaks on the grill. For medium-rare (recommended), cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side. Adjust cooking time based on your preferred doneness:

     • Rare: 2–3 minutes per side (internal temp 50°C)

     • Medium-rare: 3–4 minutes per side (internal temp 55°C)

     • Medium: 4–5 minutes per side (internal temp 60°C)

     • Medium-well: 5–6 minutes per side (internal temp 65°C)

4. Rest the Steaks:

   • Remove the steaks from the grill and cover loosely with foil. Let them rest for 5–7 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

5. Serve:

   • Slice the steak against the grain and serve with grilled vegetables, a sprinkle of fresh parsley, salt and fresh pepper.
