How to grill, marinate and season Steaks for cooking with Chef Michael Olson
Rub
This is a basic BBQ rub for your quick cook steaks and also for the low and slow cooked tough cuts like shoulder or ribs. You can make a batch and store sealed in an air tight container or resealable bag for weeks.
½ cup paprika
2 Tbsp chili powder
1 Tbsp dry mustard
1 Tbsp ground cumin
2 Tbsp ground black pepper
1 Tbsp salt
1 Tbsp brown sugar
Marinade
Make this wet seasoning as you need it and use to build flavor your steak and chops.
1Tbsp mustard
1 Tbsp garlic
Fresh herbs like parsley, marjoram or thyme
2 Tbsp soy sauce
3 oz vinegar
