Ingredients
- 2 ribeye steaks
- 2 tablespoons Bloody Mary mix
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Gather 2 ribeye steaks, 2 tablespoons of Bloody Mary mix, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
- In a small bowl, combine the Bloody Mary mix, brown sugar, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated into a smooth paste.
- Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This will help achieve a better sear while cooking.
- Rub the Bloody Mary mix mixture generously over both sides of each ribeye steak. Make sure to coat them evenly for maximum flavor.
- Season the steaks with salt and pepper to taste. You can be generous with the seasoning, as it will enhance the overall flavor of the dish.
- Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, you may want to add a little oil to prevent sticking.
- Once the grill or skillet is hot, carefully place the seasoned ribeye steaks onto the cooking surface. Cook for about 4-6 minutes on one side without moving them to develop a nice crust.
- After 4-6 minutes, flip the steaks and cook for an additional 4-6 minutes on the other side for medium-rare, or adjust the time to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium, and 160°F for well done.
- Once cooked to your liking, remove the steaks from the grill or skillet and let them rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a juicy steak.
- After resting, slice the ribeye steaks against the grain and serve immediately. Enjoy your Bloody Mary Dry Rub Steak with your favorite sides!
Tips
- Always pat your steaks completely dry before applying the rub to ensure maximum flavor adherence and perfect caramelization.
- Use a cast-iron skillet or heavy grill pan for the best sear and flavor development.
- Let your steaks come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking to ensure even heat distribution.
- Invest in a meat thermometer to achieve your perfect level of doneness every single time.
- Always let your steaks rest after cooking - this crucial step allows the juices to redistribute, guaranteeing a juicy, tender bite.
- For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a splash of Bloody Mary mix to your rub for an intensified cocktail-inspired taste.
