Homemade Steak-Rub From Your Kitchen

We’re featuring rub recipes for the next few days, submitted by Kansas City Steak
Company customers. Wouldn’t it be a thoughtful gesture to mix up one or more of
these steak rubs for the steak enthusiasts on your holiday list?  When you present
them with a box of Kansas City strip steaks or a Prime Rib Roast, include a decorative
jar filled with steak rub you made yourself.

Be sure to print out the recipe and affix it to a recipe card for their recipe box.  Punch
a hole in the corner of the card and tie it to the jar with a bit of festive ribbon or string. 
Then, each time they pull it out to make more they’ll remember how much you cared.

Blackened Steak Seasoning
Makes enough for 4 Steaks

1 T. Paprika

1 tsp. Onion Powder
1 tsp. Garlic Powder
1 tsp. Cayenne Pepper
1 tsp. White Pepper
1 tsp. Black Pepper
½ tsp. Dried Thyme
½ tsp. Dried Oregano

Mix together all ingredients, blend thoroughly.
Coat both sides of steaks lightly with olive oil,
then dredge steaks in the seasoning.  Grill steaks
until surface is dark (blackened) on both sides,

move them to indirect heat to finish grilling to
