Best Steak


Provided by LeeAnn Polster for the May 2022 issue of WeatherfordNOW Magazine.

  • 3 Tbsp. kosher salt
  • 3 Tbsp. smoked paprika
  • 2 Tbsp. onion powder
  • 2 Tbsp. garlic powder
  • 2 Tbsp. dried oregano
  • 2 Tbsp. coarsely ground black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp. brown sugar or sugar replacement 
  • 2 grass-fed filet mignon or high-quality ribeye
  • 3 Tbsp. butter, melted (optional)
  1. For rub: In a small bowl, combine the kosher salt and next 6 ingredients to create a seasoning rub; mix well. Generously apply the rub to the steaks; cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before cooking. 
  2. Preheat a gas grill to medium-high. Place the steaks on the grill; cook about 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare steaks. As the steaks are on the grill, baste with butter, if desired. If no grill is available, add the butter to a pan on medium-high heat and cook the steaks as recommended above, basting with butter. 
  3. Once cooked, remove from the grill or pan; cover with foil. Allow the steaks to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
