GRILLED T-BONE STEAKS WITH BBQ RUB

This could be called beef at its best. A simple rub including chilli powder, garlic and brown sugar adds that special touch.

Ingredients

2 beef T-Bone or Porterhouse Steaks, cut 1 inch thick (about 2 pounds)

• 2 tablespoons chile powder
• 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper

Cooking

1. Combine BBQ Rub ingredients; press evenly onto beef T-Bone Steaks.
2. Place steaks on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 11 to 16 minutes (over medium heat on a preheated gas grill, 15 to 19 minutes) for medium-rare (145°F) to medium (160°F) doneness, turning occasionally. Remove bones and carve steaks into slices, if desired. Season with salt, as desired.

Cook’s Tip: To broil, place steaks on rack in broiler pan so surface of beef is 3 to 4 inches from heat. Broil 15 to 20 minutes for medium rare to medium doneness, turning once.
