Recipe Notes

  • Yield: Serves 2

Ingredients

  • 2 rib-eye steaks or strip steaks (each 1-1/4 inch thick and 8 to 10 ounces)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or bacon fat
  • 4 tablespoons Planet Barbecue Malabar Steak Rub
  • 1/4 cup cognac

Recipe Steps

1: Place the steaks in a foil pan and brush all over with extra virgin olive oil or bacon fat.

2: Generously season the steaks on both sides with Planet Barbecue Malabar Steak Rub. Set up your grill for direct grilling and heat to medium-high

3: Arrange the steaks on the grill and cook to taste, 3 to 4 minutes per side for rare; 1 to 2 minutes longer for medium-rare, flipping often. Transfer the steaks to a heatproof platter.
