Oftentimes, I get a craving for a big hunk of steak. I didn't use to be like that. I actually was a vegetarian for a while. Then I had a steak made my Captain Jax's family. I have never looked back. His family makes the juiciest steaks! so now, for family bbq, I marinade them, and they grill them. It's an awesome agreement. 
I've never used a rub before, so this was my first experience. The cinnamon idea intrigued me. I found it in my local grocery store's ad. - cayenne pepper
- cinnamon
- salt
- garlic
- brown sugar
- oregano
- paprika
- cumin powder
- steaks
Mix together all the seasonings in a small bowl.
When you use a fork, it helps break up those pesky brown sugar clumps better.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the steaks. 
Rub it in good, and let it sit for a little while.
Grill to your desired taste. Medium rare here please!CINNAMON STEAK RUB

ReplyDeleteI was experimenting last week with cinnamon. I'm on a low carb diet, so steaks are on my safe list. I read recently that cinnamon lowers blood sugar, another plus for us Los carbers. So I combined them. I added Tony Cachere's original seasoning and McCormick's peppercorn from a grinder. It was the best sirloin I've ever had. After reading this, I added cayenne pepper to my shopping list.
