Standard

Flavor is all in the rub, and this version packs a healthy dose of spices without heat.

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander seed
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked Spanish paprika (pimentón)
1 teaspoon dried oregano (preferably Mexican oregano)
1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:
1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl; whisk together well and transfer into a clean jar until ready to use.
2. Rub steaks with mixture and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes or refrigerate overnight. Makes about 1/2 cup, enough for 8 thick steaks.
