Ingredients

  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon corn starch
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 2 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2-4 Steaks

Instructions

  • In a bowl, you will want to put your salt, brown sugar, corn starch, garlic salt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, and pepper.
  • Stir the steak rub around and then add the seasoning to all sides of your steaks. You will want to apply it liberally.
  • Then place seasoned steaks in aluminum foil and cover and place in the fridge for up to 4 hours.
  • To cook steaks you will turn your pellet grill on and heat to 500 degrees.
  • Then place your steaks on the hot grill and cook 4-8 minutes per side depending on the doneness of your steak.
  • The cook time will vary depending on the thickness of your steaks. So use your best judgment.
  • This copycat Longhorn Steak rub is so easy, and a very savory rub to use on all your cuts of steak.

Notes

Make this seasoning and store in an airtight container or even sealable bag. This will store for 6 months if you want to make in advance.
This dry rub steak seasoning works on any cut - KC Strip, New York, Ribeye, Flat Iron, etc.
Adjust the recipe to fit however many steaks you want. Generally, this dry rub is used on 2 large steaks or 4 regular-sized.
The brown sugar helps to create that crust, it doesn't really offer much sweetness if you are worried about the sugar.
